you know the type, just when you need to get on with work, your car decides to throw a wobbly.
Go out to the Land Rover this morning and the battery is dead, not just dead but it looks like the positive terminal is coming away from the battery!! Quick reschedule of the day, grab the keys to the 500 and go off in search for a new battery. The first problem is actually tracking down a suitable battery. Most of the ones over here are for small French cars.
The famous French lunch break interrupts proceedings.
Sucess after lunch and the car is back in business. Until on the way back home this evening the car decides it no longer wants the drivers side, sidestep. Luckily this happened on a quiet country lane. So sidestep in the back of the car and back home. Quick check under the car to see if there is any damage, and it seems the sidestep was hiding a big hole in the sill.
Bugger, at least I've got a few months until the CT is due.
Can't wait to see what its going to throw at me tomorrow.
