My lifeline

[alexis]

As some of you know, I dont go into my own town, for various reasons, but I am now OK going lots of places as long as I have my car for safety, so i can go home whenever I want.
Today I saw my car being hooked up on the back of a tow truck, being taken away, no idea what is wrong, its only 3 years old but seems completely dead.
I went into a panic straight away and feel awful, have cried ever since,I have to contact the garage tommorow, but when i rang tonight, he could not shed much light onto it,

Hi Alexis

Sorry to hear this

I am sure they will soon find out what is wrong with it and get it back to you good as new.

What sort of car and age is it?

I guess it is out of warranty now then as well?

I'm so sorry this has happened Alexis as I know how much you rely on your car. Is it possible for you to rent one via your car insurance while they fix yours? We do that over here because it is virtually impossible to go anywhere without a car. I do hope they get it fixed soon.

Love and many hugs,

Laura

Sorry to hear this Alexis

I rely on my car too due to my illnesses and now have a blue disabled badge too and wouldn't be able to get out without it.

Any new yet on what's wrong and when you'll get it back?

Hi Alexis

Hugs to you, hopefully you will have a better explanation when you call tomorrow. I am the exact same about my car as it too is my lifeline, it went in for its MOT on Monday and failed and had to be kept in the garage until the Tuesday, I was quite distraught. It did cost quite a bit but it worth it in the end to get it back. Are you able to get help to get around in the meantime?

Luv Darkangel x

Hi Piglet, yes expensive although mine has been cost free until now, except for the usual things etc.
Hi nic, yes out of warranty now,
Hi Laura lovely to hear form you, thanks for support.
Hi Karen, hope you doing oK, think and read about you often, thanks for concern.
Hi darkangel, sorry it failed but glad things ok now.
Well I now have my car back, not sure what is happening, I was not asked to pay, as the guy was not convinced the problem was solved, it was started via jump off, eventually, but no one knows what noise was at time.
He has given me his number to ring 24/7. everything was fine until I had a cd fitted, then got flat battery a couple times since, but it was the noise this week, battery was not flat initially,I just sat in it for 30 mins once i got it bac k,, not convinced things are ok but at least he said that too, doesnt fob off with false hopes, thanks to you all,xx

Hi!

I'm glad you are now mobile again and am glad the wait wasn't toooo long.

It is so annoying that these other things go wrong and then we have to pay for what is really a fault!

Take Care
