  3. Tell herthat she can pay for the new clutch when it gives in. I've had it happen to me but it was a hill start with the handbrake up as i found the biting point i releases the handbrake and all i could smell was clutch goin up hill. When i reached the roundabout it finally went half way across. I was not the most popular person that day. lol

     

    it is a new clutch:blushing: (this year), i just re-replaced the passenger mirror again because she (bless her) broke it yet again. :thumbup: anybody got a set of spare 235/75/16's? as the sides seem to have worn off again:blushing:

  4. 1.'well i thought it was making a funny noise..!':thumbdown:

    2. got the woman to tow a heavy trailer back to the yard one day, i was behind her at uphill trafficlights in a long queue and noticed the disco creep forward very slightly, i rang her mobile to enquire if she was holding it on the clutch.. 'its ok' she says 'in pretty good at it..!':thumbdown:

  5. yes and the second year also, then found out i had two more years to do to get the foundation degree not the three yr course i was promised:thumbdown:, thats approx £1000 more than i expected, as well as the day off a week and low wage from a short week on the tools, i was attending campus 1day per week because i'm computer illiterate, i'm really enjoying this year off so far and my heads not hurting at all.:thumbup:

  6. i'd have to clean the dash to see if its true in mine.. and thats just not going to happen till i get chance to dig the jetwash out of the shed,i did take five carrierbags of rubbish out of the cab today wrappers etc, and an overloaded washing basket of jumpers/shirts/coats to the wash:blushing: the dogs love it in there as there's always something to eat if they have a dig round:thumbup:

  7. It’s not what you would call stuck is it? It just can’t go any further without damaging the trailer or bridge.

     

    It hasn’t bashed the bridge either has it?

     

    Have a look at the curtain, still tight and tidy, look at the pelmet sheet, not twisted or distorted.

    wasn't stuck fast but was wedged, as i drove away laughing he went forward a bit more, i was 3cars behind when he hit it, the whole back end shuddered and distorted for a second or two, i saw one years ago get through a bridge by hitting it fast and the back doors broke as they were the most rigid part:thumbup: i feel your pain with the chipper spout roseyweb as i once reversed into my garage with the drivers door open wide to see where i was going in my nova when i was 17:blushing: things went downhill from there:thumbdown:
