Default This has now topped the year off

After not using the Scoob for about 2 weeks since getting the van, the car refused to start for the posers, when I got home, the thing started first time, so took it round the block. When I got back, I noticed a puddle on the floor, so popped the bonnet and now the radiator has 2 small pin holes on the left hand end tank.

Had the car almost 3 years now and the first 2 have been completely trouble free, this year, it's getting beyond a joke, mind you, thats the 3 things to go wrong (Engine, turbo and rad) so hopefully if I keep it, 2007 should be a trouble free year, though the thought of selling it is going through my head again.
When it's good, it's superb, but when it's bad, funk me is it bad!!!!!

That's the way it seems to go, as the saying goes 'When it rains it pours!!'

Sure 2007 will be a better year.

I also hope that your daughter is starting to feel better

Only problem is you lot, making me work on your cars instead of my own

Only joking, I'm not complaining one bit about helping people as it's something I enjoy doing, just frustrating that my own car is playing up!
Only thing I will complain about, is there's not enough hours in the day!!
