With me i could drive 100 days on hire but if i drive to the shops for some bread the engine falls out, also, i can drop kids at school, drive home no problem, get in it to fetch em out and the car gives up

i parked up one friday night 7pm, perfect, next morning 7am for the school, get in the car and a front coil is broken....HOW?



Same happened to me a few weeks ago, parked it up on the Monday didn't move it until the Tuesday morning, when I did there was a racket coming from the front end. I looked at the drivers side and there it was, the wing was on the tyre.


Cut down on the pies then :lol:

Direct Shift Gears. With a 6 speed auto box like that you'll be getting well in excess of 50MPG round town.
