I was due to take the car to Carl Hayward today to investigate the various problems. firstly the car would not start, then when it did start it only ran on one rotor and then died, I managed to get my mum over and we tried to jump start it as the battery was flat by then. this didn\'t work at all so we told a little lie to get mums recovery company over to my house to get it going (pretending her car was broken but in getting hers going nackerd mine) he tried with a external battery pack and it still wouldn\'t go, by now I should have been with Carl but I informed him of the problems and he told be the best way to do it was to tow the car to get it going. After a short trip in mums car the buy some tow ropes (I forgot to mention I did try and use her battery but all I did was shear the bolt that secures her battery). we managed to tow the car and it fired up....... but..... It ran like poo and there were plumes of white smoke out the back and a little from under the bonnet, Bum. I rang Carl and he said it seems knackerd but he needs to see the car and its not drivable, double bum. I am now waiting for a recovery truck to take it to Newbury so a grown-up can look at it. if the water seal has let go (and I think it has) I wont be seeing the car for a while.
 
 
Bad times.
 
 
But a should mention that the company we bought it from has been really good and I am sure it will all get fixed.
 
 
Good times
 
 
But in a hour I have to go and fix mums car where I broke it
 
 
Bad times.

oh dear hopefully it will work out. i bet you were flush this month until this happened. that always happens

willanddeb

your right I am sure it will all be sorted, just may not see it for a while. I dont remember a time when I was flush with money but I bet it was before I started buying cars

Bobbit
