Taxi Driver Online

well, like i said here is the a update, i asked the lads at the testing station & they confirmed as long as i have a valid MOT the car cant be taken off the road for emissions,, so even though it failed on emissions, i had a MOT until the 13th of feb so my plate was still valid until 31 st of jan when it ran out, on another note i gave it back to my mech on Monday to sort out , got it back today & £178 lighter, he replaced all the filters, put 2 cans of treatment in , cleaned all the lines out , & he got it tested & it passed no problem, so took it back to the testing station for the retest , another £20 , it was fooking worse than when it went in on friday , so i phoned my mech from the testing station :

me - "alreet mate"
him- "aye how did it go mate"
me- " have you herd the expression flying colours??
him - "aye"
me - "well it fooking failed with flying colours"

so, up to now

£300 for test
£266 for pre test at the mechs
£178 for the second bit after the fail
£ 20 for partial retest
£38 for the second full test ( when i get it back)
£400 loss of earnings over the weekend ( approx)
if i didn't laugh i would cry
that's £1,202 so far & ne further forward & still no car

About sums you up DOPE dont it buying a FIAT ffs and using a real con artist mechanic YOU RECKON HE SAW YOU COMING

NEVER GIVE A MUG AN EVEN BREAK

Reckon you would get credit vai the Taxi Center Glasgow not on a FIAT though

F88K EM ALL WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE

need a wav mate & not buying a new car just to use on a Saturday night (& the occasional friday)

Taxi centre will give you one, or eBay and get a TX1 from London, where many are in pristine condition , but have to come off due to the age limit

wouldn't have a TX1 mate, none around here & they look awful tbh, need something like a pug tepee wav /black /around the 8k mark, anything else would be stupid tbh, anyway , seems the dobbie is sorted, solenoid with something to do with the turbo, turbo cleaned/new solanoid, the car now pulls like a train & the emissions are reading 1.27 instead of 7.16 the limit is 3.00, still have the weekend off though as the earliest test date is next friday @ 10:30, so more money lost & the solenoid was £60 ( no idea about the labour cost )

I had a perfectly good car, no faults, new tyres, full tank, all ready for work in May

Then I got kidney stones a TWO stents at the same time, I lost a bit more than your £1202 by not being able to sit in the fecking car...

so stop moaning
