Cars aren’t worth it…

Slightly annoyed at the moment, as I’ve said in a post before, I currently own a Ford Focus, which I thought would be a lot more reliable than my old car, a Fiat Punto.

Anyway, on Sunday I was driving home from dropping something off, and it was a little bit jumpy, but I put that down to me being in the wrong gear, carried on going, about 5 minutes later it cut out completely, managed to steer it off the main road. Tried starting it a few times, and nothing happened. Phoned the AA and got toed home as they couldn’t fix it at the side of the road. Then got toed to a garage in the morning.

Got a phone call today, its the diesel pump that has gone, and brand new one from Ford costs £900! Plus £300 labour. Really did feel like crying when they told me :( .
