Title: She's a menace
Post by: TheBoy on 31 January 2008, 19:41:15
Not content with bringing her Rover home with low oil and coolant yesterday (possible HG), she went to work in the MV6 today.

She complained its a bit wandery (hardly surprising, seeing as the new shocks are still sat in the kitchen ::)), but just informed me that when she left Tescos, she had a low coolant warning, and an EML on.


She's away for the weekend doing her C&G, so needs a car, so she'll have to use tractor, seeing as she's broke the other 2....

Guess its only fair.  Fixing cars is designated a 'blue job' in the TB household.

Fortunately, cooking, cleaning, washing etc are all 'pink jobs' ;)

Yep, the same here, when it needs tyres or the tax and insurance are due, apparently that is my responsibility!

I have it on good authority that she won't break one of these:

Good for 230 BHP so should hustle the Rover along a little too. [smiley=evil.gif]

I try, but i have to admit I do bow down to greater knowledge...hubby is much better at mechanics, washing, cleaning, tidying...etc than i am....I just teach and have smaller hands for hard to reach places... ;D ;D ;D

Yeah, it's at the back of the garage! That's what we call a downward spiral. Don't use the bike, so don't clean out the garage, so don't use the bike . . .

I considered building one, but 1 had no room, 2 no money - was looking at a Westfield basic kit - one designed for Escort components, but using a different engine box and axle
