  • Swore at my car today


    I hated my car this morning

    My MK1 is needed for Sunday to go to Heaves for a show.

    I had a new prop shaft delivered Tuesday, and needed to be fitted this morning.

    Had it booked for MOT at 3pm

    50 yards down the road from mine, the clutch cable snapped.

    It's getting used to a piggy back now



    Took it to the mechanic (Dale off here). Fitted the prop shaft in a jiffy. Ordered a clutch cable.



    Whilst waiting for the clutch cable, I cleaned underneath





    At last.....the clutch cable arrived

    But it was too short

    Thought I was going to have to cancel the MOT, and no show on Sunday

    I picked the phone up at 2.25 to phone the MOT which was due at 3pm. Then parts man arrived with 2 different cables, one of which was OK

    Dale whipped it on, minutes to spare

    Took it for MOT......



    AND SHE PASSED

    Overjoyed......up and down day, but all worked well in the end. At least the clutch cable went today and not Sunday Car drives like an absolute dream now....no more vibration...

    Massive thanks to Dale for his positive outlook in times of doom and gloom. Also big thanks to Neilm for making a propshaft so quickly

    Happy bunny

    I loved my car again in the end
