STOP PRESS! My car is saved!


Just a quick post to announce that my super mechanic Peter has performed another of his technical miracles and managed to save my little Punto!!! Apparently it wasn’t the cam belt to have snapped but a pulley and although he had to change the cam belt itself as well, the valves were fine and the engine as well, so the car can keep on running a few more months (touch wood!!!) and I might have the time to look for another suitable vehicle! Unfortunately knowing me, I’ll forget about all this and I will find myself in the same situation in a few months!!!

Oh that is good news, I'm so pleased!

Hope you find takers for your diary. I already have one (not as nice, but it does the job) so I shall leave it for someone with a greater need :)

Have a lovely weekend.

Last January, after doing everything that was required of me for my car, it died on the way to work. One mechanic claimed that it could be fixed with lots of money, another told me it would be a waste of money. I hate not having a "Peter" who I can depend on.

Great news hon! It's always easy to forget when things are running smoothly. (Hugs)Indigo

Thanks to all of you for your comments. I got the bill for the repair today and it was £111 included VAT! Peter did even install a new cam belt! There are still honest people around!

Good luck in your car search. One good thing about the credit crunch is that there should be some real deals around.
