Every breakdown is few days of headache and it’s getting worse as the car gets older. If I lived with a mechanic and had access to another car, all would be well.
Luckily I'm retired so very flexible as to when I need to go out. Just as well, I live in a rural area with a regular bus service, one out of the village every Thursday morning and returning 2 hours later.
