today has posible been the worst day ever...
got up this morning (my day off) at 8 oclock to take car to fiat because back in april they done my head gasket, but last week my cam cover gasket failed. so thinking they would stand by there work got them to replace it.
i then got home and started to work on the saxo, changed oil, oil filter, plugs, air filter all no problem. then had to check the drum brakes because the handbrake didnt hold. well after removing the drum on the first side the friction material fell out!! the brakes had been metal on metal luckily not damaging the drum too much, just some grooves in it, then was replacing the shoes and had greased up the contact points. thought to myself better just check the cylinder, one side had seized other side was pi***** fluid everywhere. pretty much same story on other side except the bearing in the drum fell out when i took it off!
then my fone went off...
it was fiat, they are trying to bill me £102. didnt think much to that so got mum to phone them and they said i will have to speak to manager tomorrow, so ill have to wait and see how that goes.
then got into punto to go to shop to get parts for saxo, got half way and there was a click and i was stuck in second gear the gearstick wouldnt move however hard i pulled it. after swearing lots and a cigarette i drove it back to the garage in second. my gear cable had gone apparantly and that cost me £78!
got in car and went to shop, got saxo parts, came home and the cylinders were rusted to the plate thing. great! eventually got them free.done all of that and finished the car!
i thought that was today done and was looking forward to relaxing, but no suddenly remembered i had work. so nackerd and pi**** off, went to work (at morrisons) 6-10 felt ill the whole time, wanted to go home but they didnt let me!!
then got home to mum, nagging on about all of the brake fluid and oil on driveway!!
thank f*** its over now! sorry 4 essay and to clear up car situ... punto=my car s***roen saxo=ex gfs car.
