    Had a bit of an eventful day. My sis came for me to go to softplay with kids. On way, her car started pulling back a bit so she turned back & took it to her DH who is a mechanic. Her DH is a stresshead who blames her for anything & everything , shouts & swears at her all the time. He immediately started blaming her for putting petrol instead of diesel in car. She doesnt remember doing this but she's had a lot of worries & he just constantly stresses her out that she walks on egg shells. Felt so sorry for her and I lost my temper with him (2nd argument in a week for me :o), he didn't like it but i'm not just gonna sit back and let him walk all over my sis like that, it's mental torture!! :mad: He thinks he's mr perfect who's never made a mistake in his life! (anyway rant over!)

    Hope you're all having a good day :D

    I have had the same problem with my car since June:eek: and had about £800 of repairs and still not fixed, and they now say it could be the fuel pump which is another £750 :eek:. I went through the same thing with every mechanic I took it to, looking at me and asking me if I had put petrol in instead of diesel:cool: (do I look like the type of person to put petrol in instead of diesel:mad:, I mean I have only had the car for 4 years). So it probably isn't your sis's fault at all.

    Wingo - I am proud of you - next time give him a slap round the chops with a wet kipper as well - he sounds like a right bully

    I don't think it was my sis fault either as she always goes to same garage/pump.!
    My other B-I-L is also having probs with his car, a Mazda that he got 4yrs ago. Garage said the same to him too!
