Blinking flip 3 hours, did she say she was a lone female?

I thought all the large companies (AA, RAC and Green Flag) all try to be there within the hour.

The dashing young man in the galant Glanza?

He was probably in his pit at the time with lots of used tissues on the floor, saved him from going blind in all honesty...

Well done though Ryan, there might be hope for you yet.

Ang's daughter asked for Ryan's assistance () . He turned up in his work trousers but with a clean t-shirt and smelling like a tart's handbag

He even managed to diagnose the problem.

They was a fluid leak.

Not sure what's wrong with the car though!

The offending car



The offending part



I did not take the pictures.

The heater matrix valve behind the scuttlle was goosed. Both the inlet and outlet plastic pipes sheared off at the same time and had perished inside the rubber hoses where breaking up and could well have gone into the coolant system. Bit of a pain but it's such a common fault the parts bloke quoted the number without even checking.

So, if your KA is getting on, expect this bit to go.
