broke down today.
Its 11 years old but only done 50000 miles and is pretty immaculate inside and out. The only thing is the Tappets have gone a few times which have had to be fixed. I found that if I didnt go over 60-70 miles an hour it was ok.
The tappets went yesteray and today at a busy roundabout it started making a horrible 'clanking' noise. I had to put my hazzards on and go really slow until I found somewhere safe to stop (had Jack in the car too). It took me ages to get out the roundabout as people were flying round it and then, even though I had my hazards on, and it was obvious I had a problem, some idiot drives right up my back side, tries to undertake me and starts beeping his horn!!! - knob head. A few other cars drove up my arse and beeped and gave me evils as they passed - what ever happened to helping people out and being polite!!!
Anyway, break down recovering came and OH's parents (who I was on the way to see) came pretty quickly and recovery brought me back to OH's, as his is the address on the policy. You should have seen the guys face when I said I was 2 days overdue!!!
Problem is now I have a broken car and Im stuck at OH's when I really wanted to go home tonight!!!
I'm hoping labour starts now just to end the day in style!
Anyone any advice on my car or which type to trade it in for
