We have all had weeks/bad luck like this at sometime.

Its how you handle it that counts.............Me, after I have stopped crying I try and laugh it off. :lol:

Had similar a few weeks ago.

Sold a Pug scooter on ebay on the Tuesday for £600

Wednesday, the wife phoned me to say "her car had broken down" (Also a Pug)

Had to get dealer to come out and tow it back.............turned out, the clutch had gone. £681

Van got attacked by a large bush on the way home............scratches all down the side.

Boiler at home packed up on the Thursday as well.............luckily covered by Insurance.


So chin up..............it all comes out in the wash. Or at least after quite a few pints :8::8:

Bad times Chris. But things can only get better, as the song says.

Vehicles are a nightmare, I've never made money on one. Bought a scooby before christmas, so far spent 1,500 on it, got to spend another 2,000+ on it now (gearbox, clutch, flywheel), it gets to a point where I have to say, right sod it, it's a new car again so I'm not selling it.

I think if your van was okay, the other things are minor.

Get onto the shop you bought your Fien from and insist that they sort it out. Get on the phone to Fien while you're in the shop and let them argue it out between them in front of you. I bet you get it sorted out in minutes.

Then the Mrs car, sod it, it's the Mrs' car. haha (Joke!)
