    Bis, you got back just at the right time!! :D

    Having a terrible day so far, well it all actually started yesterday when my car unfortunately passed away :(

    I have now discovered that my AA membership lapsed....a week ago!!!

    They want £139 to give me Roadside and a one off home start just for today, or £180 for the roadside and a subscription to home start.

    Problem is in my purse I have 24p :undecided

    And the very most irritating thing ever is that I can get roadside and home start online for £70 odd quid with £40 cashback on quidco.

    And so because of this I refuse to pay the £140 (which I don't have anyway).

    I am now on a mission :cool:

    I have decided to find a cheap local mechanic to have a look and 'hopefully' get it going, then I shall be driving it to the nearest silver Vauxhall Astra that will take my car as part exchange and do a swop. I miss my old Astra, it's a man's car and I never got grief from van drivers :p

    So, where do I find someone that is good a tinkering under the bonnet?
