Poo'ed my self a little last night. Yellow stuff was leaking from the center of my car , didn't smell of anything, just felt like water. Was leaking for about 2 hours, checked all the pipes i could at the time, all the tanks around the engine bay. Where the **** was this leak coming from...

Sat looking on my phone at my uncles house wondering how much this one will cost me. Auntie comes in and asks whats up, bam straight away she said "had your air-con on all day?"

Got shown up by a women who wouldn't know the difference between a Ferrari and a Fiesta , lost some serious man points that day :(
 
It's always worrying when you park on an incline and you see a puddle emanating from under your car :)

The drain hole is amusingly close to the exhaust, too.
 
Pulling it apart to try work out why it started hesitating yesterday afternoon at Llandow (and still is now!!)

Seems to be popping from the inlet just before it comes back to life, which can't be good.

Water would be clear, right ;) Yellow is the colour of the leak tracer they use in AC systems, just sayin..

I would just say it was that colour as it had to go past the dirt n grime and then down the rusty exhaust and drip off the center silencer :)

I ask them to fix a leaky rear wash/wipe.
The wiper arm was €90 :/
So I guess they topped it up. Annoying as I have plenty at home.

But I had literally just got off an overnight flight from Singapore, it was Saturday and there was no one there and just couldn't be bothered to argue.
They pull that stunt at services too.
 
I always top the screen washer fluid up to max before a service because I know they will try it on. Equally check wipers, tyres, light bulbs etc for the same reason.

Ford tried to stiff me for £30 for a rear indicator bulb at the last service. :rolleyes:
 
Finally got around to fitting my black grille surround (have a full black grill too, but decided against it, due to needing new parking sensors and foglight surrounds to match).

Wasn't a simple job, wheels off, arch liners off, bumper off, grill backing plate off, parking sensor loom off, then grill out, and finally chrome surround removed. Then refitting aligning it all again.

Fixed the central locking on passenger door.

Now - just need to fix the A/C. The clutch won't engage when I turn it on. Going to get it re-gassed tomorrow and go from there. :/
