bit fed up now

[skidoo]

as is realy been working on the car all day and everything i touch breaks and the bit next to it, the more money i spend on it the more i have to spend on it ive been a tech for 30 years and never never seen a car built so badly from a factory geeesus.........still i think a half bottle of JD and a good nights sleep and i will be at it again in the morning and maybe just maybe things will go my way ok i feel better now

I feel your pain mate, I've got a VW Touareg which has been exactly the same over the last few days...yesterday's job was to replace the drivers window motor, so got that changed, door back together and fitted, but come to it this morning and the door won't open from inside or out. At least the car you're working on is worthy of your time!

Stick in there Norman, it will all work out in the end. i managed to get brake fluid in my eye today changing the rear brake hoses, which was a right pain in the arse, and the eye.

[skidoo]

yeah the hose fits ok just ripped the oil cooler to bits trying to fit it and then getting it out all the rivinuts on the a/c rad were spinning all the screws in the inspection pannel go round and round and round then the ballest for the hids ,plug comes off but not thr wires and on and on and on so gave up now drinking whisky till it comes out me ears

lol its part of the cars charm i think .Every job seems to take an age,but as said above its a worthy car

[ridds]

Chin up mate, try realising you bought the wrong wheel bearings 3 days before you're due to drive to the south of France!

Or your gearbox blowing up en route to Le Mans

Or your clutch failing at LeMans again....

Or your AC packing up even though you'd made a special trip to recharge it the day before leaving on a 2000 mile road trip in 30° heat.

Believe me, grief in the garage is better than out on the road! At least you can just go in and get a helping hand from uncle Jack!

[skidoo]

yep just me being a big jesse new day renewed enthusiasm
and yes you are spot on matt nothing worse than running repairs at the roadside
