The mechanic who used to work on my MKII golf use to laugh because of how unlucky it was for me.
The day got it someone tried to steal it and bent the steering columb, cost me £50 just to have some comeo ut and knock my steering wheel back into place. Something I'd already half done but wasn't sure if i'd cause more damage.
got a cheap steering wheel lock which i managed to crack the wind screen and break my wind screen wiper lever. Cost me £50 for a new wind screen and I had to use a screw driver to turn the windscreen wipers on and off for a while.
Then spent £600-700 to get it thru it's MOT, new rear shockys, exhaust, front discs and few other wee prob's. Had it out the garage for about 1 month then wrote it off up in the north of scotland and it cost me £89 for a taxi home.
To add insult to injury I only got £134 back from the insurance for it, although they knocked £400 off my insurance on the new car.
A learning experience I won't forget.
