Well today was the funeral of our good mate Micky Pollard, I got up nice and early showered and shaved ready for the off. I set off at 9:30am up the good old M1, when I came to the M1 A1 link road my engine management light came on and the car slipped into limp mode
40MPH tops. I managed to get it onto the hard shoulder and killed the juice. I got it started and all seemed OK for a few miles when it came on again, this time it wouldn't re set itself and refused to go above 40MPH. I had no option but to phone the AA to come out and have a look. One hour later I was still there waiting for them when 30 minutes later they decided to turn up.
He hooked the car up to his scanner to see whatwas going on, the fault came back as a faulty EGR valve, he tried to re set it but the fault kept coming back, he asked me where I was off to? I said a funeral in Birtley Co Durham. He said we can get you there but we can't bring you back, we can take you home now but you'll have to wait until a wagon is free to come and load your motor on the back.
As you can imagine I didn't make Micks Funeral the result is I'm f***in gutted.
