So yeah~ Start of the month, things can only improve right?
Broke down this morning on the A1 leading onto the city bypass into Edinburgh.
My bloody exhausted had decided it didn't want to be attached to my car anymore and flipped off and bounced away.
After an hour of waiting the AA came to take me to the local garage.
Reached Halfords and the people were LOVELY. They showed me what had happened and explained it all.
They didn't treat me like a moron which also made me happy.
So they explained that they needed to replace the middle and rear exhaust sections.
Though they were worried that there was something wrong with the 'Cat' (catalytic converter) and advised me that if there did turn out to be an issue it may cost me a lot of money. I just laughed and shrugged it off. I'm used to things going tits up.
So I sat down and waited.
They came in and told me it had corroded and that they could replace it for me if I wanted OR I could wait. They explained they didn't know when it would break but advised that if it did snap it would damage the new exhaust and that would mean spending MORE money on ANOTHER exhaust.
So I just told them to do the whole darned thing.
They sent me off to Ocean Terminal (like a shopping center/mall) and I was there from 12:30-2:45.
Cost me £298 but at least my car is up and running now! She's a much happier car too, no scary sounds.
So yup, that's me.
MARCH. YOU BETTER LOOK UP FROM HERE. ELSE I SWEAR. I WILL SCREAM.
