Bummer!

I've had the missis chewing my ears off about her crappy car.

When will you fix it
When can I drive it
When will you take it for MOT
When when when when.......

She's took mine at the minute which is making my work harder.

Best thing was, I'd told her what she needed to get me....gave her part numbers and shops to speak to. She was even off work (while I was away). Did she do it? Did she balls.

Top tip: if someone ever offers you a MGF, RUN don't walk.

Definately RUN MGF's nice to drive but spend more time in the garage than on the road

I think there was an old thread on what I'd replaced on the car which got us a whole YEAR of trouble free motoring. Now it's just had:

- new windscreen wiper motor (just stopped working - common fault)
- Lots of blown bulbs

Needs:

- New throttle body (known issue - it's warped and the car won't idle = MOT failure on emmisions)
- Power steering keepings coming and going as it pleases (known problem - wirign harness fault)
- Plastic screen needs replacing - it's split (known problem.....!!!!!!!)

Stupid car....*mutter mutter grumble grumble*
