Ok this may turn into a rant essay so I appologise in advance, but here goes.
It all started on Saturday when myself, mrs chaos and a few friends went to Cornwall for the weekend. Had a great time until it was time to go home on sunday, when discovered a lot of fluid pooling around the rear passenger's side wheel. After waiting 4 hours in a pub in Bodmin the RAC pointed out that the fluid was differential oil and I would need recovering home. However, because it was getting late there would be no chance of getting a driver to do the hole trip back. So waited another hour for a recovery truck to deliver a courtesy car to get us home and then take my truck to a storage compound in Liskard. During that time went to a take away and got chicken, which was welcomed food at the time but gave us upset stomachs on monday. So eventually the courtesy car arrived and my truck was carted away. The courtesy car turned out to be a T reg vauxhall Zafira with 169000 miles on it and making a lovely wheel bearing groan. But hey it got us home at 1am Monday morning.
So onto Monday, woke up feeling sick from last night's chicken and exhausted from the late night. Also found we were snowed in and couldn't get into work. So Monday was written off and went back to bed.
Curently talking to recovery firm and they will return my truck as soon as the weather gets better and they can spare a driver to go from Liskard to Poole.
At least though I've got a car to get around in for now, but when they return my truck they'll take the courtesy car back. So have to find something to drive while I sort out getting truck fixed.
