Joy of car.
20 miles into a 200miler car sounds a bit sportier.
25 miles in car sounds a bit Harley Davidson.
30 miles in i start looking for a lay by thats wide and not littered with excrement and bottles of piss so i can "have a look" underneath.
35 miles in.... choices.... exhaust silencer has snapped at the weld from back box to connector. Can call AA who won't fix it but would escort me to a garage that might have the part on the shelf. Most likely be an overnight delivery. Can just return home and try there.
No joy, wandered into a tyres/batteries/exhaust while you wait place, got ignored (not as if they didn't hear me drive in) drove home tried locals.
With discounts an tings now waiting on delivery from eurocarparts for a new silencer.
Last time this fell off it cost £109 fitted and 24-48hour wait for part to arrive. Might get the part Monday or Tuesday maybe Wednesday but self fitting and the dizzy sum of £60
Car MOT expires next May. Car is being scrapped then, we might not make the goal of 200k miles on a 3cyl 993cc unit :)
Going to look at scooters as a back up as moved a bit rural from the M20 corridor.....
