Feck, feck and more feck.

Frigging turn the car key this morning and the four wheeled twerp dies on me.

Call the RAC and it's the battery and a leaking fuel injector......£140 for a new battery and I have to get the injector done.

Not a good afternoon.....No deary me.

Dear me.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
Suffice to say there would have been an emotional outburst containing bouts of profanity had I suffered a similar fate.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

For a moment I turned the air blue and everything around me. God knows what the neighbours thought.

Greta said good.
You should be walking or cycling.
Feck her I say. On your behalf as well clearly.

Surely the RAC could have jumped it and let you buy your own battery? Norman Tebbit would have got you on a bike.

They do feck all in services these days - as you found out. Long and short of it - learn basic mechanics. Everything is online with videos.

Depends on your intentions for the car. If you want to sell it in future and keep its book price value then FSH full service history is good to have, especially a premium car serviced at the dealership. Otherwise I’d find a mechanic who works from home with knowledge of a whole garage of rip off merchants to the power of 10.
