the next morning i went for a drive and the car sounded a little clogged up, so i floored it to clear it (i assumed being a diesel maybe it had just been driven lightly). the next thing i know there are plumes of black smoke and a very ill sounding car that kept losing power, so it looks like i have been sold a dud motor

the next morning it wouldn't start at all, and it sounded like it wasn't getting any fuel, so i popped off the fuel line off the filter and flick the ignition on for a second of two, and sure enough fuel was flowing out freely. then it hit me, that over powering smell of petrol.

the shame

so i drained it out and a tenners worth of diesel in it, and touch would its been fine since.

so what do i hate about cars? well, me it seems
