Well about a month ago the clutch went on my car. Going to cost a fortune to replace. My brother mentioned that he was going to get rid of his car and I could have it until I got mine repaired. I jumped at the chance especially as I was taking my son and niece away for the weekend over half term.
My clutch is due to be put in next Saturday so yesterday I put a final £20 worth of petrol in my brothers car to see me through the week.
I drove my boyfriend to work in Hemel Hempstead this morning and the car started jumping. Then just after leaving him a light flashed up on the dashboard and it started bleeping at me.
I pulled into a side road and phoned the RAC who turned up in about 2 minutes after I hung up.
Turns out that the fuel injector has gone so it is undrivable. It would have cost £100 for the RAC man to repair (just the cost of the part) but I said as neither myself or my brother were keeping the car it wasn't worth it.
So now I am carless for the next week. Not good
