Rubbish Car week

Had a rubbish week with our cars:mad:

On monday karen phoned me at work to say Jag wouldn't start. (04 x-type 2.0 Diesel Sport). Was completely dead with some weird fuel data error message on screen. We have had it for about 15 months and done about 10,000 miles and never put a foot wrong before.

After eventually getting breakdown people out (another boring story), they couldn't fix it cos it needed plugging into diagnostics & tugged it to a jag specialist in croydon where it now lies.

Anyway they had a quick look at it and got the fault codes. One of three things. A break in the loom; faulty instument panel; or ecu. its gonna take hours to trace. They can't even try a working ecu cos they're all individually programmed:cry: Whatever it is it's gonna cost mega bucks! Either in labour to find break (i'm hoping) or worst case a new ecu:eek:

Then to finish off the fun was driving into work with the Zed, heard a big bang as i hit a bump and the drivers door window fell down!!

When i got round to checking it found that the lug that's built into glass and sits in door channel had snapped off, and damaged the glass tint on the way down.

I know that it's only car trouble and money and there's a damn site worse going on in the world right now. (just reading some of the very sad stories on here) but still frustrating.
