Well does God hate me this much. I know my sister in law think I actually AM the ANTICHRIST
- She calls me "Saint Satan" but this isn't getting funny this Golf - I'm finding the whole car a chore. All I have done since I had it is solve problems and spend money. I could have bought a Rubix cube and gone off with a loads of Brasses and had fun with this cash.
Firstly
I had no horn - but there was some really tacky airhorn thing going on under bonnet with hundreds of miles of wires, I could have reconected the USA and UK via the Atlantic with a telegraphy system again there was that much speaker wires - they probably played Dixie knowing the cowboy I got it off. I am kinda glad they didn't work and play Dixie - my neighbours are all old farts and hate all the cars I have and they must think I am a red neck being from out of town (Canada but they all think I'm American). I must be the only guy in the street without webbed feet those. Hayling where I live is rife, like New Forrest, Isle of Wight and Norfolk or so they say I replaced the horn with the new horn I bought for my Alfasud. - tidy little Nautalus
Secondly
I had to buy the black metal water pipe when I bought it, only to re-replace it the other week when ice cracked it also bearing in mind I put new anti freeze in before Christmas eve.
Thirdly
Re-replaced this pipe, went to start car - there was the sound of a squeeling mouse being murdered inside engine. I drove off and the water pump belt snapped? great
Fourthly
fixxed the belt started it up with more new anti freeze - then water was P-hissing out of a core plug on engine block. My mechanic fixxed it.
Fithly
again checked levels started it up and water was P-hissing out of another core plug this time in the engine inlet manifold. Got one from TPS in Portsmouth on next day for 33p.
Sixthly
I put two new indicator lamp looms in the big bumpers. The previous owner took them with him and bodged something up that work intermitantly. Yes only £10 roughly for GSF. Worked in my drive way until I drove off. The nearside refuses to operate until you hold down the stalk on collumn? this only after I had the wrong bulbs to the ones that the bodger put in it. Back to halford in Pompey again.
Seventhly
I bought a eyebrow spoiler for it. Got it cheap £10 unpainted. I had primer - but went out and got the Tornado Red the other day. It came out nice, until I fitted it.
Eighthly
The grill is being held on by god knows what. The offside headlight rocks about and the adjuster is missing - GSF and TPS don't do them - scrapyard want a £20-25 headlight sold to give me this tiny bit. fact is with new spoiler on top when you shut the hood you can see the top of the fixxing scews? this ain't right. I had one on my old Golf years ago and never noticed them. So I got a funny feeling the wrong slam panel is on car? I might be able to pull hood forward a smidge - but this is very irritating.
Ninethly
It appears the front lower engine mount is knackered - back to GSF and another helping of my debit card.
Tenthly
It also appears I must have left the car open the other day and someone stole the MAC Tools c-spanner from the glovebox - I was going to soften up the springs and raise the car this weekend they also took the golfball gearknob?
Eleventhly
Battary is knackered to now - again back to Halford for one - kerr ching £50 debit card theft
Twenthly
There another water leak - from expansion tank. It has got a crack in it - fixxed this
Thirteenthly
There's another Water leak - not from the engine but the truck probably from his smoked aftermarket lights which arent sealed.
Fourteenthly
Reverse switch on gearbox gone - I can fuse it together to make them work - so need one of these as well now
I Must be hated by God so much - what does a man have to do to have some fun. I'm surprised he didn't just smite me with some bolt of lightning earlier when I stepped outside?
MOT is in a few weeks and it needs tyres all round I fear and probably new rotors on the front. The guy I bought it off must be laughing his head off. The car is structually very good but boy has he been bodging stuff. I don't think it was a cheap Golf or a dear Golf - middle of the road - and it looked alright.
This all after the sage with my Octavia RS and is second engine blowing up. replaced the engine again then new oil pump fails and destroys the bearings in the turbo. That little amount was £1000 first engine - £1000 Second £100 for oil pump - then £475 + vat for tubro rebuid + all mechanic fees.
I have just spent £3000 on new windows and doors for the house which are being fitted Thursday - Come on GOD!!!! Sort some snow out so the fitters won't come - How about a Beoing jet engine falling off a plane through the roof - Do You Best you Mutha!!!
