Bad weekend for my vehicles !
Started on Friday night
Was going out for dinner at friends house so naturally called in to supermarket on the way for bottle of wine, soft drinks for kids (& garlic bread to help hostess)
Came out to find Range Rover TD6 2002 which only purchased 3 WEEKS AGO wouldn`t start
Host collected girlfriend & kids & i spent the next hour & a half waiting for tow truck.
By the time i got there meal was over
BUT THATS NOT THE BAD PART
Took cossie out on Sunday on way to Donington for track day Got as far as Tamworth on M42 when...
... cambelt tensioner lock nut came loose & belt jumped 
Had to be towed home with no fun day out plus faced with massive bill
Didnt dare get the bike out as its only thing left running
Sometimes i wish i wasn`t into cars

Bit late for that Mike... I mean Dangerous had a trackday booked at Donno, and so what were we to do.
We couldn't get the ALS to work again after the first hour of constant use. Why was that?

and the twisty black knob to the right of the steering wheel - make sure thats jammed clockwise too - actually mike says it runs best if you just pull the hose off the actuator - me and chop found this best last time we had his escort
