Worst day... Merry f-in Xmas!

[Lovinit]

Got up early this morn, after my new coolant hoses arrived! Thought I'd brave the snow n change it! Got outside to find some git had jimmied the lock with a screwdriver, fortunatley unsuccesfully as I still have the car, but unfortunatley coz now key won't work! Anyway popped bonnet undid hose clips, two were fine.. Last one needed tug, nothing stressful.. All good! Then spot the pipe coming put aux pump was loose.. Checked it... It snaps...

Jst paid £80 for hoses, £130 for two new tyres, and now gona pay nearly £90 for pump! And some Gits done my lock in... Merry f-in Xmas! Bah humbug

One just cannot help bad luck.
Thems the breaks, You have made me feel better I thought that every other dupa hole has had it in for me all year long, lets hope the weather improves for 2010 or we are all in the merd.
Hang in there you are not alone.
Forget the Plastic and cast it in Alloy.

Good Luck Cobber

Look at it this way, if your pipe had failed whilst driving it could of dumped its water, overheated and bugg3rd your engine! Hope you get it sorted.

Bad luck on the little git who's knackered the door

I had an after run pump explode in my face, scaulded the whole side of my face, 3 hours in casualty later and I was looking like a sunburned holiday maker! Gota way with it rather lightly.

I got my ARP from Pete @ QC, genuine Bosch. Fitted in 5 mins, all good

Good luck fitting the hoses.

sounds like a pretty sh*te day but at least as you say its on the drive and you will be able to sort it and drive again. Guaranteed as soon as it fires up and you have driven 100yds that smile will be on your face again

Hang in there, it does come good in the end!!!

I reckon most of us have been there with the pump at some time In the meantime you can bypass the after run pump with a short piece of copper pluming pipe

Glad the thieving wotsits didn't get your car!

Cheers for all the votes of confidence, in hindsight I know things could have been a lot worse! I mean if the gits had taken the car i can't even imagine the feeling! and reading ur tales worse things have happened!I guess things always seem the worst when they happen to you! Jst with Xmas less than 7 days away jst annoying ESP as I need the car to get about to c the family!

Thanxs for the link to after run pump Urs4! Come in handy when I get me hands on the pump from Bosch, thanks for that info Rusty!

Always puts a smile on your face when u come on here n u peeps are all so knowledgable and helpful!

Merry Xmas to u all... I mean that this time!
