Broke down. Wounded.


Recommended Posts

As i was pulling away from the lights nice and slowly as you do i felt a clunk and i stalled

I don't have the ability to engage gear and my engine bay is covered in sticky clutch fluid.

To say i'm gutted is an understatement.

Another cost that i didn't need and can't really afford but will have to be done as my car is essential. I'm not asking for donations just a little bit of sympathy and maybe a toot and a wave as you drive past in your working car :-(

Looks like someone is about to be plant-ed with a big bill, Bill.

 

Beep beep.

 

lol. Thanks for your concern. Total bill = £58 inc labour and parts.

Twas only a pipe that failed dumping my clutch fluid over the engine.

Cheers mate. Im home in the warm and my baby is now in good hands. By a freak as i was leaving the garage my previous car drove in and im happy to say she looks like her new family have looked after her well.

Think positive, it might just be a seal that's failed.

 

Thanks mate. Not a seal but thankfully the next cheapest part to replace.:)

That's all you need right now. Hope you get sorted soon. I too am wounded so I know how you feel.

 

Thank you mate :)

I hope you sort out what ever has wounded you too. Is it car related?

One thing i forgot to say and im honestly a bit ashamed i forgot. I think it was a mixutre of being hacked off when i posted at first plus i was using my phone to post and i dont like using it cos i make mistakes but its also possible im just ignorant lol but i want to say a big thanks to the people who pushed my out of the way.The bloke in the van behind me and the man from the car in front who came to help plus the nice women who pitched in. Thank you.. I should have took my opportunity and got your number, ah well. Maybe next time.

I mean the number of the nice lady by the way not the two burly blokes.
