Servicing Fun...

[Simian]

Had some fun this morning!...

Picked my car up from its 50k Service yesterday... All Seemed well and good till I got 200 or so yards down The Great Western Way heading toward the M4... All or a sudden There was an god awfull Rumbling sound and the car seemed to slow drastically!... I immediatly pulled over (This is a Dual Carriage way mind you!!!) and First Phoned 'Honda Assistance' who Priority Dispached a Van to me, then Work to tell em I'd be V-E-R-Y late in today!... Then Honda where I'd just picked up my car that morning!!! to tell em I'm brining it back with an AA man and I'M NOT HAPPY!! Having just parted with the better part of £300...

Turns out that a slightly over zealous Technician, had, on adjusting my breaks, Slightly Over tightened/Adjusted the Rear ones!...

Needless to say that when I got up to 65-70 on the Dual Carriageway the Discs expanded due to heat... The ABS/EBD Sensor sensed the Subtle Breaking effect and Applied the Breaks for me!!!..

Well Honda have got my car for another day (I got a Little Noddy Jazz 1.2 for another day!!!) and They've, Buy way of compensation, Said my 62,500 Service will be Half Price!!!... (Probly about £100-150 then!!)... I also noticed my File had VIP written in Yellow Highliter

All in All a Nice Start to the Day!!...

I hate watching Nutters on the Dual Carriage way Swerving at the last minute to avoid my car, even with its Hazards on and a warning Triangle (which some chav in a Corsa hit!!)

interesting,
they probbably made you a VIP so you dont sue the hell out of them for potentially killing you and other road users!

Exactly what I thought when I saw it!...

Its a CR-V Sport Auto (Yes I'm a fat lazy Old Git!!)...

I couldn't Get to the End of your post Because all the random Capitalisation gave Me a head Ache

A habbit I've got from my job!... Capitalisation of Every Other Word Except Small its ands thes etc... for drawing reports (I'm a draughtsman!)

How the hell did they hit the warning triangle? Did you put it in the actual lane?

It was at the edge of the lane, cos the long grass would have obscured it, even though he (nearly) didn't see a VERY LARGE dark blue car on a white background (nice and wintery -2 degrees!... I was freezing whilst waiting for the AA) with its hazards flashing, as he narrowly missed it swerving at the last minute into the other lane glaring at me in the process!...
