timbop6wife · 24th August 2009, 17:47

well how dare she, after all the money we,ve spent on her this year, shes just failed her m,o,t. one of the rear coil springs is broken
Tim checked everything last week, cleaned all underneath the car as well as inside and out, and she let us down on a coil spring,
oh well more money to be spent on her, at least the m.o.t doesnt officially expire till next Tues

The wifes Mondeo broke a front spring last week and went into the tyre a bit scary really, So its not only the 75 that can break springs.
