Why does everything go wrong at the same time?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just recently everything is giving up at once.

I need a new exhaust on my car because it is blowing a little :rolleyes: - see the pictures :D The exhaust that is one is the original one piece Ford exhaust from new. It is 8 years old and has done 226,000 miles so I suppose I can't complain. I will fit the new one in the morning so it is bound to rain tomorrow now.


A couple of weeks ago it needed 2 new rear flexible brake hoses for the MOT. Ok they were easy enough to fit but it was advised to replaced the track rod ends as well which I did. A few months ago I replaced a couple of rear suspension arms and a drop link.

I recently replaced a wheel bearing on our other car and repaired a slow puncture. It has had an annoying sqeak on the exhaust for ages which I keep sorting but comes back after a while. While trying to find it last week I found it needed 4 new front anti roll bar bushes so they got changed. Now it looks like a rear brake is causing some squeeling so that will need looking at soon as well. It needed a new CD player and speakers the other week because the old one would not pick up radio stations.


Yesterday I had the dishwasher in bits again because the handle was broken. I fixed the hand held vac as well while I was at it and looked at and ordered a part for a friend of Rhonda's GHD's.

Hopefully I will get time now to take the blown grill element out of the cooker to get a replacement from the shop in Accy.

Oh well at least fixing everything is keeping me busy on my days off :D

If you have the money for it, buy new now -
...before vat goes up
...before savings are stolen by the crash of banking systems.

He would, but then he'd be up for manslaughter for shooting the annoying squeak.
Most of the annoying squeaks usually come from the passenger seats.
