Worst start to christmas holidays ever!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 25 December 2005, 00:38 »
What a crap day Ive had firstly went to move my wifes beemer off the drive so i could go and wash my gti and found she had a flat on the back. So i went to get out her spair and its a 15 inch steel she has got some 17 inch M3 wheels so that was a no go, try ed calling loads of garages they were all shut so moved her car on to the street. Ive just got some Bosch super 4 plugs for the golf so put them in no problem, got in my golf drove it 500 yards down the road and f**k me temp gauge went through the roof, I got out and water was gushing out, so thats £5 quids worth of brand new anti freeze wasted straight away. I think the radiator must have a hole in it some were as all the hoses were OK, it felt as if it was coming from around the side of the rad some were. I had been having a few over heating problems lately so its gsf to the rescue i think with a new rad. So me and the wife cant go any were coz we have no cars GREAT. And to top it all off i managed to get my mum to borrow me her year old fiesta for the night what a pile of crap that is, this thing really is awful it had all the power of a half dead asthmatic pit pony, I was totally gutted when i was blown away buy some youth in a 1.1 saxo with wheel trims, lexus lights and an exhaust that could suck in young kids as he went past were was My gti when i needed it I'm going looking for him when its fixed lol merry Christmas...... :angry:

The bms sorted now anyway just waiting on the rad now hope its easyer to refill this one. When i droped the water last time it took me 3 days and a garage a week to get rid of an air lock so this could be the 3rd lol..... :smiley:
