What you should've done is bought a decent motorway cruiser! One that is big, comfortable and built for Long journeys at relatively high speeds.Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostWell, made it in okay this morning on the sport mode, although it was a rather skittish journey.
Planning to take it in the truckers lane tonight - all 60 miles back home.
Got the joys of exchanging it for a Ka this evening, not that I care, as at least it should point in a straight line.
Knew I should have bought a banger, not wasted moolahs on a new one....
If I do not make it back home safe, it has been good knowing you all. Look out for M62 accidents tonight.....
You got lured into a false economy by buying that piece of sh!t.

Prostitute in the boot. Have had the same problem a couple of times. One extra blow with the hammer up-front will make for a more relaxing journey to the disused mine shaft.

*BANG!*Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostWell, the very nice man has been and gone.
The squealing noises is the power steering pump – got the setting changed back to Sport meaning it is a lot firmer, and does not wander over the road any more.
Thankfully in a hotel tonight by coincidence anyway and booked in at the garage for some bodywork tomorrow evening, so will get them to look at it all then.
Saturday will be interesting as planning to go to the refuse dump – in a Ka courtesy car!!
