Ouch. Think my clutch has just gone.

[Wack61]

That doesn't work either!
It's like age - you go to bed at night - everything is fine - wake up and something doesn't work

That's what's worrying me, when I try and start it I'll have that look on my face, you know the one, like you're trying to put the pin back in a hand grenade

 

[Contigo]

....or scrap it

Yep

 

[GeoffCapes]

I feel guilty now, you've had woeful luck, but your stoic stance is refreshing to observe!!

It's a toy. So it's not the end of the world.
If it was a work car I'd have the right hump as I do a couple of thousand miles a month and can't be without it.
Someone on here said to me before I bought one "buy a Maserati knowing you might have a bill that runs into a couple of grand every now and again".
That's why I have a 'repair fund'. It has 4k in it. Anything other that, then I have to save for it.

Life goes on.

 

[Wack61]

Good attitude to have, some people spend 5k on a holiday , a week later it's a distant memory

In my time on here I have met some lovely people and had some Great times but a few have disappeared due to buying the wrong car and having a horrendous time which is sad but the honest answer is you have to have the war chest to hand on occasion.

 

[Ewan]

You should do what i do when you get it back ...dont drive it, and it cant go wrong . ha ha

The previous owner of my Ferrari tried that technique.

But move on 25 years when I get it, and does it work?

Does it Fxxx.

 

[D Walker]

Excuse me, it might last 2 weeks.
Sri Lanka and Maldives here we come!!

 

[zagatoes30]

Been here, nearly every component of the CC selection mechanism has been changed on my Spyder but at least it was over 3 big bills rather than all at the same time. Hopefully I won't need to go there again but with it being a Maser there are no guarantees.

 

[GeoffCapes]

The positive side for me is that I should have my back in two weeks.
Sod it, its only money!

 

[philw696]

That's the only way you can look at it.
I had a big bill on my 360 when one of the engine ECU's pooped itself and I had the service and cambelts done at the same time it was a 6K ouch.
Still when the wife went she got less.

 

[GeoffCapes]

Still when the wife went she got less.

 

[Gp79]

Saw you've got her back now after a bit of a saga.

What was the actual problem? Or what was replaced in the end?

At least it was a good time of year to have problems! Enjoy the dry roads!

 

[StuartW]

I missed that, nice one Mark - at last. I hope that's the end of your woes and can enjoy it now
