what a week so far

well this week started off with needing new discs and pads on the rear of my fronty so ordered them from my local shop (bullseye) guess what ??? they turned up wrong not only that but they only got one disc so after another hour i finally got the right discs and pads only after going to there warehouse for them myself all sorted now so thats monday so today i thought i give it a wash and get some diesel (do you know where this is going) so off to our local car wash give bess a clean then into the petrol station £30 worth of what i thoght was diesel!!! no like a silly pi***k i put £30 petrol in instead ( this is what you get for looking and talking to a woman at the same time) didnt notice till i was driving home and she started shuddering and i knew exactly what i had done so called breakdown out to get me home tried syphoning the petrol out no joy 3 gob fulls later so underneath to the filter took pipe of there and eventually got 99% of it out filled up with more DIESEL this time and shes running sweet again so i think im off to bed and staying there while next week just in case lol.i just thought i would give everyone a good laugh at my good luck so far this week

Did you change the fuel filter as well ?

no i will be servicing shortly so ill do it then

having one of those weeks myself mate, started out turns out my diesel light doesnt work anymore so it ran dry... then i got run off the road by a grit wagon on sunday and straight through a wall, probably written my 1 week old (to me) Frontera off

Not just me then?
Blew a coolant hose at the weekend, the one right under the injector rail that is the return from the heater matrix.. the most inaccessable, knuckle skinning part :twisted:

and lost most of my lovely pink 2 month old antifreeze

Good news.. Hose £3 per metre :dance:

(15.8mm) and antifreeze.. erm... "borrowed" for a couple of :drink:

they can have it back when I flush it through next time.. :wink:

BTW..
BRAKES... for future reference - I used http://www.brakesint.co.uk/, great service, parts shipped same day.. arrived the next day.
Theres an online catalogue, with pikkies and drawings to dribble over as well as alternate part numbers and as an added bonus... they are cheap(ish) too! and unlike the (n)ever helpfull "hellfrauds" - they were the right parts from stock!

Stay in bed, put on Jeremy Kyle and have a Jaffa cake... You'll see... it cant be all that bad...
