I have to put the car in the garage this morning as the water pump has gone...
Just one of many things to go wrong with my bloody Corsa.

1. Spark plus exploded - needed a new engine
Not covered under warranty as it was not a Vauxhall Sparkplug

2. Gear linkage warped - apparently its made of plastic!!!

3. Oil Leak - no idea where or when I can get it fixed

4. Water pump gone - cant drive it a mile without having to stop and let engine cool down.

Buy a motorbike. And as you're in Salford, a bloody big chain and lock. :lol:

lol - Lucky you - I have to spend £500 to get my car serviced and fixed.
Salford is not that bad - there are 3 people in our street with very nice big bikes and they leave them on the drive.

Get a BMW. I really cannot fault them at all (apart from the prices the BMW dealerships charge for a service!).

Jamez being practical again there. :roll:

Excellent, apart from the initial cost, the CO2 band they're in, the cost of the insurance, the fuel economy and the price of a service.

Which wouldn't be so bad if they stayed locked up there...

Tsk... a Jag would spit such vulgar metal implements out in a fit of identity-crisis-induced pique!

Naturally.

Although I find Audi drivers to be ultra-twats. Saw some cocky business man tailgating a Renault Clio on the M5 earlier today. Clio driver made his feelings clear by using the middle digit of his right hand out of the window.

Ah I can beat that. Me and the missus were pootling along the A30 in Cornwall at the National Speed Limit in the outside lane, when we were undertaken and gestured to get into the slow lane by a 40+ year old Beemer M6 driver with a receding hairline. He then sped off in the distance.

SO sorry if, at 70, we were going too slow for you!! Just cos you have a small penis....
