Bugger
 

Just pulled up ( well at 2.30 ) at a customers site, and power steering starts to vibrate, within a few mins, have NO steering at all, like concrete :bigcry:

Car now dumped in customers car park, first tech comes out after an hour and confirms pipe has split ( well from what we can see ) and now waiting for trailer / low loader to collect and recover to dealership ( cosmic )

Arranging hire car hopefully on the warranty, why on a friday !!!:bigcry:

Sitting twiddling thumbs... not looking forward to a ravenscroft lorry pulling my splitters onto the back !! and then hopefully it gets back to sytner before they close at 6 ... hmmm doubt that as it's due to me in 30 ( basingstoke to ascot on a friday in a truck ) ..

so guess it's spending the night away !

Thats bloody unlucky timing mate:bigcry::bigcry:

Was it making any groaning noises for any length of time before???


Have you been a bad boy? must be karma or something, as I'm a saint and mine split on my cadwell track day on the way home, but only leaked the next day:smokin: when I didn't need to drive anywhere :beer:

Pop the splitters off while you are waiting if you are worried?

Here is the real "Bugger" Daz ! ..old but still cracks me up !

Car loaded and gone ... just just inched on with blocks no damage or need to remove :smt055

No hire car as they forgot to order at first call :banghead: so told em to sort tomorrow rather than wait for an hour an half or more for a bloody shitter !!

Lee collecting me in 30 mins and delivering me STRAIGHT TO THE PUB !:beer::beer:

Gonna drown my sorrows in amstel :hahaha:

Hopefully car gets there before they close, or it's delivered back again tom am, and then depending on parts car sorted monday fingers crossed ....


BEER O'CLOCK

Thats a bit $hitty Daz but i'm sure the pub will make everything seem better :smokin:

Mine went the same way - no warning, the pipe just split when parking. The part is £140 or so :mad:. With labour & VAT it came in at £1 under my sodding warranty excess :sad:.

Unlucky dude - that's twice in about 2 years?! :banghead:

I know mate and the last one went just as I pulled off the ring on routey to fuel station with you following :whistle:

Well the BM emergency peeps did a sterling job to be fair, car arrived at Sytner last night just before close, pipe split so part ordered today for del and fitting Monday, updated all through the process, lovely super quick 320d delivered this morning at 9am :hahaha:

Off to the gym now (new years res) lol to work of the hangover from last night ... Have a great weekend all ;)

Damn Daz! Twice in as many years. Strange? Maybe it wasn't routed correctly when replaced last time???

Ah well, hopefully all back good as on Monday.:thumbs:
