Ah well guys....thats me OFF for the weekend...as of yesterday...
my alternator packed in on my P/H car..they think its covered by warrenty...otherwise..£145 for part and fitting .
they cant get another till saturday..maybe,maybe back on monday...bloody hope so....
time to be a punter and go out on the town tonite

same here mate gear linkage just gone on mine.

A similar thing happened to me many moons ago, so I called the AA out.

How the bloke did it I will never know, but he took it off, took it apart, put it back together again and off I went back to work.

From alternator dying, to my next job took less than an hour, and just under two quid for the bit he put back in.

What village was it? how are they coping with you being off the road?

sometimes its nice to kick back and have a weekend off. i've had one (only 1 in 2 years) off a while back. to be honest i didnt know what to do with myself as im not used to having weekends off. apart from becoming a punter and getting bladdered not a lot to do. cant really go local sight seeing as i see it all time!
total crp on TV saturday nights. i guess im not missing much by working lol

so spent a little while browsing the big wide interweb thing and came across this one:

(you'll need a decentbroadband connection too)

a 11mb download, may be a little geeky or nerdy for some of you but it kept me entranced for a few hours. mainly aimed at americans but i was amazed at how you could zoom right in on things and the comments left by other users and the things they have found.

made a change from the usual "adult" type stuff :

they are coping fine m8.....just means the others guys are doing slightly more work...for a change ! ....

P/H in this village usually pulls in around £170 on a sat nite..approx (4pm-3.30am)
friday nites are usually slower @ around £140 mark.
sometimes more..sometimes less...very unpredictable...
sundays can be a hit n miss .
quite season is coming...oct/nov things die down here ....

have u ever seen the classic western where the town is dead apart from the balls of stuff blowing up the street ? ..thats this place oct/nov
