Don't you sometimes wish that something on your car would break?!

So, I'm driving home from work today, and I can hear a blowing sound, coming from my exhaust. So I stop, and had a quick listen under the car. It was coming from the back.

I head towards my local garage, all the way thinking "YES - the backbox has rotted through! I can finally get a better one!" (my current one is pretty loud)

Turns out that it was the bracket that holds the backbox onto the rest of the system had rotted through, letting the joint loosen a bit . Total cost of £16.77 - I got a new set of exhaust rubber/hangars while I was there.

Gutted.
 
No!

Im skint at the moment :(


My glove box is open all the time because the latch broke a week ago :o
 
mate if u were facing the tax bill it looks like I'm going to have to pay there is no way u would be saying that! I am sat at the accountants pooping myself. really should save harder for these type of events... :confused: sorry going well off topic... :p
 
sort of - my gearbox crunches a lot at the moment at high revs, but I doubt i'll replace it until it completely gives way.
 
I'm canning mine everywhere right now, hoping the engine will let go, then i've got an excuse to drop a 1.5td (corsa/nova engine) into it. Unfortunately i seem to be killing my gearbox/clutch instead :(
 
Noooooo.

My car already has a lot of bad stigma. I want to prove people wrong, not have them say "told you so"

:(

So far it's all good though, so :p
 
No, cos when it does it's usually expensive. Fortunately, a very rare happening (and have I just set myself up?!).
 
Fuel pump.

At the moment its "BUZZZZZZZZ" or "REEEEEEEEEEE" or "ZZEEEEEEEEEE" or any one of several annoying noises. I'm also convinced thats part of the reason my car has random bouts on power loss. I can't really bring myself to be without the car though as I'm doing about 800+ miles a month for work plus my own usage on top.

Having said that I'd like it to die as I just happen to be passing my mechanics workshop whilst running on fumes :p
 
Oh hell yes, i want mine to basically destroy itself while its still in its warranty. Only 2 months left and i haven't used it once yet! For gods sake damn you reliability!

PPPPFFFFFFTTTT.
 
God no. My E30 was never on the road for more than a couple of weeks in a single stretch!! Them were the days.
 
i generally hope nothing breaks, but there was a time when i was changing the clutch and could not get the gearbox out for the life of me. i wished it would just drop out
 
Can't say I do at the minute, enough problems as it is! :D

Overheating is the main one at the minute. :(
