My car is cursed!!!!

ChrisMack · 10th December 2012, 23:58

Hey everyone!

I think my car is cursed, I have had one issue after another since buying it last month and now to add insult to injury some junkie *********** had jumped on my roof denting it in various places!

I am seriously considering getting rid if my beloved car now as can a dented roof be fixed?

Honesty the list of things is just getting bigger, I am getting to the point now where I can't afford to get car in order!

I now need:

Roof repaired.
New air con pump or it bypassed
New discs and pads front and back.
Second key as only have one with car.
Sat nav checked as not reading disc, might b too scratched though!
Cd multi changer magazine.

don't know if its worth it now maybe I should just cut my losses and get rid!

Roof repair can be done, not easy, but do-able, worst case you may need a roof section welding in (give me a shout if you do, I have a few I can cut out for you)

why would want to get rid when realy the only thing possibly urgently needed is your discs and pads which in time everyone has to buy .. serviceable items

and like most people we have to do things as and when we can afford them

not like your bigends are clanking around

if the roof is not to bad perhaps someone like dentmaster may be able to help.the satnav try copying the disc on to a new one.as for the brakes not hard to do yourself

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! :xmas-smiley-029:

Apart from the brakes I could quite happily live with the car,
dont need a sat nav - thats what windows are for!
you can still buy cassettes!
How about re-starting a style trend and fit a vinyl roof!

Or you could go Rat! paint it matt black, tint the windows and go round terrorising volvo drivers :icon_twisted:

:xmas-smiley-029:Ive got a brand new set of front pads you can have, I bought them in error,wrong size! just pay the postage cost, if you dont want them then the offer is the same to any member on here.

I think that is the way I would go, a cheap fix a bit of vinyl and a pot of Evostik, could even go colour co-ordinated could he not?

Haha!

Thanks for the suggestions fellas!

The list of things that car needs is fine I just didn't expect my roof to be jumped on, it's crazy how low some people will stoop!

As for they discs, are the compatible with my 2.5 v6?

Thanks

Chris.

On the Sat Nav disc as long as the disc is not cracked all scratches can be polished, heavy application of wet&dry sand paper followed by a disk polisher repeated several times if required will polish the worst scratches imaginable
