A Weekend I'd rather forget

[Gokiwi64]

So about Thursday wife moaned that the Kia was playing up , surging at low revs hard to start, Friday evening it died completely while she was driving it , result small crash. I suspected EGR/EGR Cooler turns out it was both. Spent Saturday replacing both (fortunately Euro's had both parts in stock) So still cost 300 odd quid.
Then heavy rain Saturday night , Sunday find LCR full of water again , car so fogged up and totally unsafe to drive.

Now the dilemma The Kia is 9 years old with 110,000 miles on the clock , is it time to move it on and what the hell do I do about the LCR ?

I'm too old to be dealing with "character building" weekends anymore........

Sounds a sh8y weekend, really don't need those! My old Leon used to be a mobile fish tank & I did think about with all this heavy rain. It is a nightmare to drive/dry & the damp smell never goes. Keep it covered & dry out whenever possible. Roll on summer!

Sounds like the siv might need swapping at some point soon. “Winter is coming”

Send both cars on down the way and treat yourself to something new (ish).
