Yeah it`s buggered,just spoke to graham @ olympic 417.23 for a new one !
Had another nightmare this morning,my customer who i clean for every fri is back from India,been away since Dec,thought i would set off nice and early,as i have been taking it easy there,as house has been empty !
Got about 2 miles into my 15 mile journey,on the a14,foot went flat to the floor without any resistance
managed to pull over onto the verge cars going past at 70 not fun,the throttle cable has a cup on the end,and where it joins has a ball,cup was worn out and would not stay on ! Tried cutting some cable ties off other stuff so i could fix in,all too short
.
So snapped the live wire that goes to my stereo and stripped all the plastic off it with my teeth ! Managed to get my hand down there and tie it on ,runs a bit fast now but it`s that or i call breakdown people,was an hour late
..
Used to have a vaux main dealers just down the road,but they have moved to another branch 10 miles away now..
