    well my car is still giving us issues it can be one of three things but we think we have it down to two now ...either fuel injectors or fuel pump we would need to replace all four injectors at once at a cost of 250 each plus labour and as for the pump we have been told forget it sell the car too much hassle so i might need to get a new car and right now i really cant even afford to think about that i can feel my dfd slipping away like sand in an egg timer i can barely smell it anymore but i know we will get there ...just had to share with you all

    Typical that the car needs doing in what is just about the most difficult month ever! I am sure that someone is looking down on us thinking that it would be really good fun just to turn the screws a little bit tighter - just to be on the safe side.....

    You will catch up on the DFD - just need a little more effort - you are obviously not trying hard enough:rotfl:

    Elantan, you poor, poor thing, what terrible news.

    Don't assume that you'll have all the same pain and problems again, it could be different this time, please go to the doctor if you haven't already and get yourself properly checked over.

    You've had a terrible shock so take one step at a time, don't worry too much about the future now.
