Thread: Its that time again!!

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Darmain
Well, wish me luck!! Hippo is going in for the yearly MOT next week. Also having a total belt change as the engine has got to that mileage again. Was going to do it myself but its a bugger of a job so I've got the Independent to do it for me. Gonna cost i know but its worth it in my view. Will let you know the outcome. Dave

Thanks people. Already discovered one side light 'blub' was popped. All sorted now. Wait and see next Thursday. Will get a Landy of some description to trundle about in. Usually a TD4 so I won't be completely Hippoless.

Its booked in with Joyce's in Trowbridge. Had a worry this morning. Got in the car to go to work. Was driving through our estate when there was a loud buzzing sound from the dashboard and all the power went off. The engine also cut out and I ground to a halt. Switch off then started up again and he fired up again. Then when I get into the centre of town it did it again only this time ...

Well, the envelope dropped on the doormat this morning. Now I was begining to wonder...... Had they forgotten me? Had they lost my address? Was it a Christmas present from Joyces to me? Sadly not. There was the bill. £630

Make sure you let us know. I have had mine now for over a month, is it worth popping it in to Steve for a look? I dont know much about cars, but everything sounds fine and feels very responsive, has come with full dealer service history. Am I tempting fate by taking it in? I suppose its more for a piece of mind.

You're not that far from Bristol if you ever need a good independent... Steve Hill in Brislington has a good rep. Cheers Blippie
