Bloody cars.
« on: October 19, 2007, 07:38:16 pm »
Last Friday the brakes decided to *BLEEP* fluid all over out of the rear wheel cylinder so I let R Lass use the 165 until I got round to sorting the Pug out.
Last night we went shopping in the 165 and on the way had a strong petrol smell. Came out of the supermarket and half a tank of bloody Optimax and Octane Booster was making pretty patterns on the car park floor (OK...so it wasn't really half a tank but it might as well have been)
Got home and managed to do a 'temporary' repair to the fuel line with 'petropatch' LOL. It seemed to work last night as there was no fuel in the tub this morning that I put underneath the leak,...that was until R Lass got to work this morning and it was *BLEEP*ing out AGAIN >:(
Got it home tonight and replaced a section of copper pipe with braided rubber pipe only for ANOTHER bloody leak to start 12 inches away ;) ;) ;)
Looks like I'll be spending again on her >:(

Seriously wanting another GT4 NOW god dam it!!!
