Ever have one of those months where its just one thing after another?
In the last month and a half all i seem to be doing is sorting something out on my car. Start of last month noticed oil light came on looked in the bay and there was oil everywhere turned out to be the oil pressure switch so replaced that. Came out to a flat tyre few days after that. Car then needed a spot of welding on the sill for the MOT. Then i saw some water leaking after parking up water pump had given up so replaced that. Fan belt went so replaced that, battery not holding a charge and going dead overnight. I tried someone else battery so i knew it was that and not the alternator so went and got a new battery today fitted and when i went for a drive just and the middle section of the exhaust decided to drop off despite been only 4 months old and fitted by chemix. It was the third exhaust fitted by them as they ordered me two and both didnt fit properly so they had to order me, wait for it a "better quality one at no extra charge" lasted me nearly 4 months. Luckily 2 year warranty on the exhaust so chemix on the way back from work but when im in at 6am i really cba with hanging around chemix.
Starting to fall out of love with my car. Rant over.

I have months like that although it's usually multiple cars. You would think having a few would mean you have at least one that works but that isn't always the case. Money pits, all of them.
