A French friend of mine came to dinner once and when she turned into our street she clocked my Scenic and laughed her head off (not literally). "Vy on Eerth have you bought such a shit car?" she retorted.
Since that time my car has been no end of trouble. It's cost me an arm and a leg to keep it going and once again this morning it's juddering again. It's water getting into some control panel or something. The AA will fix it in a jiffy. The dealer would tell me to get it towed to the garage and they would charge me £400 or something for blowing on it.
Recently, they charged me £300 to fix a resistor. Now don't get me wrong, i'm all for the free market economy, but how can a tiny wee resistor cost £300? They're tiny wee things. I think if you added up all the individual costs for parts in my car it must be worth £1m. It's amazing they sell them so cheaply really.
I'm buying Japanese cars from now on.
