Mile 1 - On the way to the garage, realise i only have two bolts in each wheel and i MIGHT have forgotten to tighten the other ones! Oh well, onto the garage!
Mile 1.5 - Arrive at the garage, half the pumps are out of service, eventually get ot one and put some fresh juice in her! The girl at the till then proceeds to knock her cup of coffee all over herself, which had only just been made!
Mile 3 - Back to the garage for bolts, mother laughed at me
Mile 5 - brown pants time as an old 3 series Landy doesn't look like it's going to stop.
Mile 5.5 - Bloody clutch just isnt right, doesnt seem to have any travel to it, yet doesnt seem to want to let me change gears, having to drive the thing like a Transit and swim for gears (NB xantia Pull clutch!)
Mile 8 - clutch pedal has developed a REALLY annoying squeak
Mile 11 - pedal box is loose! Knew i should have tightened the bolts up when i was looking at them, probably the cause of the rapidly gaining in annoyance squeak
Mile 15 - Made it through the tunnel
Mile 17 - 306 Sedan driver really wanting to get a good look at the car, driving all over the place, lost at the lights in a puddle of smog!
Mile 21 - Got to ASDA, nice well lit and clean carpark, stop for five minutes and check for leaks, NONE
Then the bugger wouldn't start! Seems to be a low powered battery, REALLY hope that its just low on juice and not the THIRD alternator playing up!Mile 22 - Home!
Tomorrow the journey really starts, going to high wycombe and lincoln, my god i need a miracle, and to fit a million little things
Wish me luck!
