As some of you know, my car has been going through the wars as of late...
June saw the body work dented due to a biblical hailstorm!
Early August I fid out my DMF is fubar, so bought a new one along with a new clutch.
Mid August the alternator packs in, 2nd time in 3 years.
Mid august saw 2 new rear tyres and car tax.
Fast forward to this past weekend, car's booked in at a local garage to have the DMF and clutch fitted. Car went in Saturday morning and was advised it's a 7 hour job so will most likely be Sunday before I get it back. Sunday morning come and a phone call at 9.30am, "your car's all sorted and ready to pick up".
Can't wait to get it back, was planning on remapping her that afternoon for some playtime, but when I drove her she felt freakin' horrible.
The bite point was literally within a mm of clutch pedal travel! Figured it may get better as the day goes on, but nope! Even really struggled to get into gear at times, so now my car is once again off the road and I'm driving my brothers car.
Was just thinking last night after I'd limped her home, the amount of money I've thrown at her this past 6 weeks or so, I could've bought a cheap run around and not had all this ball ache!
Part of me thinks I should've just let the insurance scrap it after the hail storm.
Got to love hind sight!!!
