Oh my i'm not the only one who has this much bad luck with cars. This happens to me all the time too so much so I feel like a bit of an expert when it comes to cars now. lol.

 

I hope your Mum has managed to sort out some form of transport now. I have a saying about Luck/life it never stays the same it's a bit like scales sometimes your luck is in, other times it's seems to be bad luck all the way. It never stays like that though I have found. It can sure feel like that when the bad luck is in though.

 

Hope things are brighter now.

I know some people seem to have bad luck with cars, their cars are forever going wrong. Others never seem to have any trouble at all.

There does come a point when it might be worth cutting your costs and getting a new (Second hand) car.

I do think a lot of it is down to the way in which they have been looked after in the past and also the garage that looks after them. But things do go wrong, even with brand new cars.

 

I had a van once for work that was a bit of a wreck when I got it. Only paid a few quid for it. After a few months the engine seized, got a second hand engine off a friend for £10, striped it down and rebuilt, replaced the back axle(From a scrap yard) and clutch at the same time. Static timing in them days (for the car minded among you) put it all back together Turned the key and off we went. Never went wrong again. Sold it a few years later for more than I paid for it, when I no longer needed a van.
