How lucky am I??

[jamie_wood]

Ally got a call from the Nissan garage the other day asking how her new Jeep was doing and if the cherished plate was through...blah blah blah.

Anyway, he than asked her if i ever had any mechanical problems with the car and she ofcourse said "No"

apart from the three engines it had

The reason for him asking was because they were unable to get it to start since the day I droped it off!!

I thought it was just due to the poor battery that was on her and also the fact it hated cold weather starts too, but thought it was funny they couldnt get her to go if they had been boosting it

So a few days passed by and I hear through the grape vine that the car is still not going.

At this point in time I was thinking about going in myself and removing the Unichip and running the car on the factory ECU and trying it...but I didnt

Its was only today that i found out it has burst the timing belt!!!

I have now been told by a reliable source that it had destroyed one of the pullys and I guess it will have done much the same to the valves etc!!

Cant belive that after two years of owning the car it decided to die on me the day i left her in that nasty Nissan garage

On the up side...I'm sure Arnold will have made enough from the sale of the jeep to cover the repairs!!!

Just shows you how lucky you can be at times
