I'm starting to get the feeling that my GP isthe unluckiest car ever, certainly the unluckiest car I've ever owned!
The car will be 1 year old in about 3 weeks.. and I've had all the usual problems - loose drivers seat, squeeling breaks, whale noise breaks, knocking sound underneath, rattle inside door, some belt loose in the engine, peeling laquer from wheels, dead locks locked on and probably a few more things that I've forgotton - that everyone else has had, and I'm still waiting for some of them to be fixed...
But ignoring all of those usual things, I've also had 2 cracked windscreens in 6 months, a brick thrown off the A pillar about 4 weeks ago (still needs repairing) and a punchered rear left Bridgestone 2 weeks ago that needed replacing (128 quid). I've also kerbed the front left wheel twice and the front right wheel once.
Now, one of the jobs I had done last week was to have all 4 wheels refurbished because of the peeling laquer. The job was a good one, the wheels looked spot on and after and the full valet I splashed out on yesterday, the car looked like new...
...until this afternoon when I increased the number of times I've curbed the front left wheel from two to three, this time managing to take a chunk out of the tyre too
I'm driving to Keswick tomorrow so I'm praying there will be a tyre garage open on a Sunday morning somewhere in the Sunderland area? I can't afford another 128 quid for a Bridgestone so I guess I will have to go for an equivalent (and ask them to put it on the rear and move the Bridgestone to the front).
I'm starting to question whether I should keep the car...
