Well I have just had the results from the MOT back and it is not good. It turns out that I have an enormous crack in my Series 3's chassis. The rest of the chassis is not good either.
So I am faced with an unforseen bill for about £2000 to fix the thing, I think I have spent so much time on her that I should not give up on her now. After all she had a new wiring loom less than a month ago.
I have owned her for three years now and have fixed so much, this just seems like a collossal kick in the spuds.
When she is done she will have a new gearbox, galvd. chassis, new exhaust and new brakes, she will not be like new but pretty close. The only problem is that the chassis swap people have a six month waiting list so I am being forced to drive around in my infernal Skoda work car .
So now I am sitting here under my own little thunder cloud.
Sorry it's not bushcraft but I just need to sound off a bit.
