I have worked all year no holidays etc so I wanted a relaxing few days off. So a I get in the shower last night and waters a bit cool, but as boilers off on timer I didnt think anything of it. Get up this morning and boilers not come on so no hot water or heating. Look at it and find a microswitch is not making its connection. Sort it out and decide to get a new boiler early next year as this ones 23 years old.
Get in the wifes car and the engine management lights on. She says it came on yesterday and she forgot to tell me. We've been looking to change it, why cant it wait another month? Ive always hated that Corsa...
Wife asks me to take her this afternoon to the churchyard to put flowers on relatives graves. Drive up the slope to the church and bang, grrrrr, no drive. That will be the infamous VW T5 driveshaft issue then...
Ring RAC and they are there in 40 mins and I'm home in 1 1/4hrs, so they did well.
Now got to source and fit a new driveshaft and stub shaft over the christmas hols, when everywheres shut, etc and fit it on the drive and its bloody freezing.
Meant to be at work weds/thurs on double bubble but cant see that happening now. Merry poxy Christmas
