What a weekend !! I owe a HUGE thanks to Baggins and Jock, And heres why...

 

This is the story ...Put 2 quid on lottery before i left , remember this as its important later!!!!!! left my house 80 miles away on saturday to go pick up some bits from ztech. Got there no probs, on way back on M4 steam started pouring out of the bonnet , pulled over saw temp rise!! looked closely and after a call to ryan, realised one of my heater matrix hoses had split !! So called AA out who put in 5 gallons of water and still wasnt enough as temp was high still , so asked AA man to tow me back to ztech but he couldnt due to where the towing eye was , and it would have ripped my bumper off. So also found out im only covered with the AA to travel within 10 miles to either a garage or home , and as neither were near had to pay for a private company to flatbed me to Ryans at a cost of £232!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :headvswal , decided AA are a bunch of :xxx: , Anyway , got it back to ztech about 7 or 8 o clock after getting Ryan out of his house into the snow to open his yard up. How guilty did i feel!!!!! So after that Ryan was kind enough to drop me at the local services so i could get a room and go back in the morning and fix it. So he dropped me off there and left. After finding out i had 46 quid in my pocket and had left my wallet at home, I found out the room was 49 quid!!!!! HELP!! In steps good old Jock who was also staying in the same place , and lends me the extra cash i needed.

 

So now i go in, book and fall asleep Very P***ed off indeed , thinking that the car has a head gasket failure cos of the overheating and the high temp after the water was put in.

 

Wake up this morning nice and early and get a lift off Jock into Ztech to look at my car , Luckily enough Ryan had the pipes in stock!!! So i changed them over ( one had a huge split in it) and and started her up , got help getting the air out the system and took her for a blast and she sat and normal temp :dance: ( YAY no head gasket probs !!) So now as im takin it for a blast brake pedal almost hit the floor once and now she is misfiring!!!!!! Do problems ever end??? So got it back to Ryans again and the injector connector was loose , which solved the misfiring and the brake line just needed tightening. So took for another blast and sweet as a nut!!!!! :bow:

 

Now to top it off, on the night before i had put 2 quid on the lottery.Told u it was important !!! Im driving it home and after the few blasts testing her didnt realsie how low the petrol was and i have now spend every penny i have on the room last night. So i realise to check the lottery numbers, And i had one 10 quid!! can u belive it !! I Cant!!!!! So got the tenner for a petrol station lottery till just as the petrol guage hit empty and put it straight in and got me home !! without that i would never have made it !!!!! So for all the help and favours i owe a HUGE thanks to Hugh and Ryan aka Jock and baggins. They helped me out above and beyond what most people would!!!!

So here to u guys :bow: :bow: . I owe ya!!!!
