what do you do if your cars getting you down?

lol at the inevitible "play in rear wheel bearing", its usually that or number plate illumination

its such a cliche now, i think MOT testers just do it to be ironic.

 

haha! nice i like that attitude stu! glad all's well with your car, your temperature gauge light still flash all the time?

 

As much fun as G ownership can be, doubt i'd have another one

Don't race 2 stroke TKM any longer, bump starting it was a pain in the ****, especialy it it didn't fire up quickly

 

If my car is broken and getting me down, Ill clean it, if it looks ok, then I can pretend its ok.......

 

Haha i do that!! did it yesterday actually, then a bird sh** all over it! Always happens to me, i think they aim for my car.

 

He did say it wasn`t that bad, and that really he only put the advisory on because the DVLA get suss when 22 year old cars get a clean sheet...

 

Yep. Probably always will too, since I fitted a sensor-less header tank...

 

haha! fairplay I didnt know that, oh right sod it then, can you remove the led or something?

 

seeing as the warning light is pretty useless, what about cheating the wiring so turn the light out?

 

Had a good car day yesterday matt. Cars going well. Went for a blast last nite, nice and cool, little bit damp perfect! Bwaarrrp!! love it. Got 16v master cylinder and new pads now so brakes are good to. Gonna get some 16v front calipers and hubs with the carriers on them soon too, get new rims tomorrow from surrey (roadtrip!), cars coming along nicely.

 

you getting the wheels youve got photoshopped into your sig?

gonna look cool

 

Have you tried changing the nut behind the steering wheel?

 

aaawww yeeaah!! cant wait matt, these ones are home polished though so might need a little bit of finishing off, we'll see. Im excited though

 

I could do, but the car will be off the road soon, and everything will be getting ripped out anyway, so I`ll put up with it for now (have done for about 18 months already anyway! )

 

ooh whats going on stu? Or is it all top secret?

 

Cry

Rub one out

Start work on the car again

 

i sometines just bury my head in the sand and hope it goes away (this has worked before, i just drive it hard until it accepts defeat). or get drunk, kick it etc..
but luckily stuff that goes wrong with mine can generaly be fixed by myself quite cheaply luckily enough.

 

Clean it. And whinge about it to friends.. They must love me!


For once my car is running good! Not perfect (needs tuning, camber and possibly wheel balancing) but it drives lovely! This is after 4 months of a non-running car.. It was horrible!

 

Being a girl - what I cant do myself I get someone else to do
(which is everything - lets be honest)
