Bored why I wait on the RAC. Anyone having less fun on Friday evening?

What vehicle youin ? Im about to go route around in the v8 engine bay. See if i can make her sing on all 8 had a sticking carb, fully rebuilt them with new floats and shizle so hopefully she goes good

M25 isnt that the large orbital london car park on a fridy night,

Didn’t you tell them you are a lone female?

My old reliable Mercedes.

Giffgaff are reporting a technical error so I can’t even ring or text the wife

That the one your selling ?

That the one your selling ?

Wife?

I’ll be over the pub later, I’ll try to think of you while I’m drinking my first pint. 😈

Not the silver one I was selling. The new black one I am now thinking of selling

Want us to ring your mrs? 😉

That is crap fella; at leas you have signal, and a leg to stand on.

Have you done the “how f******* close do people drive next to each other?” epiphany yet?

I think you should change your username. I beginning to think it isn’t all just a coincidence. Oh. If you are on the hard shoulder I would suggest not sitting in the car….

Managed to get the new to the wife thanks.

Two RAC vans have driven past so far but failed to stop.

At this time on a Friday night he’s probably moving faster than everyone else anyway.

Stood sensibly behind the barrier but getting hungry

Two RAC vans have driven past so far but failed to stop.

Have you thought of writing “H E L P” using stones, or starting a fire ? Good luck

Currently being coughed on by other peoples kids at a soft play, joyful, it’s especially horrible when that ugly one does it.

What jct?

Noooooo not that humongous SLK AMG ??? Whats it ran out of fuel??

Take care out there and don’t get tempted to eat the empty McDonnalds wrappers.

*supps beers…

Battling to get my 1 and 6 year olds down in order to enjoy a few moments peace whilst my wife is out… currently id swap for the hard shoulder…oh for the solitude! 😀

Yes noticed you earlier as I drove past. Didn’t stop of course 😀

About to tuck into a home made curry after a 15mile ride around the Dark Peak in the most sublime evening sun, a bit far to bring you a bowl and it may be a bit cold by the time it reaches you!
Good luck getting sorted.

Broke down twice on the way to work and three times on the way home.

Quick diagnostics phone app told me what was dodgy and part bought/swapped. Smart phones are ace.

Hope you get rolling home soon O.P.

What? How did ypu get that from your phone.?

Home sweet home

RAC reset the error message and the car was fine until 10 miles ago when it reverted to limp home mode again.

Beer and food now. Swear at car later

What’s limp home mode? 150mph or so? 😀

Oh, and you can relax about the repairs safe in the knowledge that it’ll never cost as much to repair as a certain STWers VW Passat……
😈

PP – I had exactly the same issue about 6 weeks ago and the garage ‘fixed’ it for just £950. I might be going back to the garage shortly.

Going back shortly or dumped on their forecourt ??

Lovely car though, don’t get too angry with it and don’t give it a kick eh 😉

It is too nice to lose really. I think it is just a faulty sensor somewhere as it was totally normal once the error message was reset.

Still a damn annoyance while trying to track down what the real fault is.

Wca, if your taking it back to the same garage and need a lift, give me a shout!
