Did about 60 miles today.....
Went to fetch some free furniture for Sally’s spare room which she is getting ready for a lodger too.
On the way back, I came Up to a roundabout on a left hand curve where I needed to scrub off speed a bit.
Suddenly I felt some vibration on the left front wheel.
Pulled over, inspected and drove off carefully to pull over in a nursery car park to check the wheel nuts, all good.
Full lock, nothing hanging off the suspension or front end
Then drove the remaining 25 miles cautiously with the brakes juddering and clearly not capable of handling an emergency
Why???
I hear you ask .....
Coz I chose not to take recovery service on this car.
This means I will be getting it serviced and stuck on a machine this week as it’s been shouting for a service since I bought it.
Getting the brakes seen to will be part of the job.
So.......
Leaving, empty.
Headed back, before the brakes threw a wobbly, the guy gave me a set or genuine Seat Alhambra roof racks too for the Galaxy too.
More the sort of look expected from Prozac..... Loaded.
And of course carried upstairs and set out.
Remember the state of my wing mirrors??
Been looking for a set, but not prepared to pay the prices charged online.
Then tonight a surprise call from MercDan to say he had possibly found me a pair of working mirrors from a Galaxy that was being stripped and broken up.
Still to be collected and then brought over to my place.
Amazed that the weekend is pretty much over again.
Thanks for checking in.
