Week not going great :(
After 12 months of ups and downs with trying to sell my house we finally move tomorrow.
So far the last 24 hrs has brought me a fooked abs unit on my BM with a £2k repair bill and now the latest is the fridge freezer which is part of the sale - currently doesn't do anything in the way of cold
Onwards and upwards as they say

What are the tell tale signs of abs unit going btw ?
2k seems a lot money
Can't you buy them cheap fridge freezer delivered* , probably less hassle than fixing old one

The fridge after being switched off for an hour has fixed itself! I think it may be on its way out but as long as it lasts the next 24 hours..........
The car dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree! Took it to my local Indy and that was the diagnosis The labour is only 1 hour its the part which costs
Cheers Guys

That's why I got (and so far received back about £650 worth) an extended warranty. As long as you argue on the phone come claim time and have the backing of your specialist garage.
Did cost me £750 for a clutch/dmf rhough

I've had it. 'They come in three' may be a superstitious belief, but things like that do make you think.
When my microwave suddenly broke down, I got a new one presented by my kid. But in the same week then, my fridge-freezer croaked it. I went out and bought a new one. But in next 24 hours, my stupid kettle decided to blow up! I wish it broke the same time as fridge, as it would have saved me going back to the appliance shop. But no! Thank God it was only a kettle, not a BMW. I don't have one of them.
Easy, it could all be feeling too much right now due to your longer term house sale related stress, although 2k is a lot of money to 'take it easy'. Best wishes.

Dunno exactly - it's just fooked!
I've looked around and a repair doesn't seem out of the question but I'd be pretty screwed without the car if it was gonna be out of action for a time!
I looked into chopping it in but it's got new boots all round and the brakes ain't so old and a few days after a not so cheap 4 wheel alignment has just made me bite the bullet.
I have bigger things in life to worry about so I'm just building a bridge and getting over it

I would have to be minted not to try to avoid a 2k ABS repair. I fixed my VANOS for the cost of some solder and brake cleaner. £2k seems to be main dealer standard fluff for this sort of thing.
