Arse!! Have to get the train to work tomorrow.

Fiddle-arse, gonna have to get up early tomorrow and get the train to work. Someone at work asked today 'How's the Jag?' (my daily driver), to which I replied 'Yeah good, it hasn't played up for weeks and week'.

Well that was the kiss of doom of course ...

Luckily after the 30-odd mile drive was almost over, and I was only a mile away from home tonight, I stopped at some lights, and a woman and her kid were pointing at the Jag from the pavement, which is when I noticed a huge plume of smoke/steam coming from the bonnet:



Thankfully it isn't a *huge* problem, as the hose that has developed a hole in it (don't know how, but it has), is just a simple 6 inch piece of heater type hose held by two jubilee clips, so it should be easily replacableable. Whether I can get the c*cking thing off is another matter, one of the clips is a git to get to ...

Might as well go collect the bike from it's MOT tomorrow night, I was gonna wait till the weekend, but I need transport!!

Crap.  That's sucky.

Not a major issue, but not what you want at any time . . .

That's one way of degreasing the engine
Hope you get it sorted, does look kinda tight in their

The amount of hoses under that bonnet make it look like an explosion at a garden centre ...

I'm at work now. After getting up an hour early. To get the train. :::grrrr:::

Guildford

It's a quick half an hour blast straight out of London on the A3 from my flat nestled in Zone 3 south of the river in civilisation out to the boonies to spend a jouyous day in a souless business park on the outskirts of Guildford.

Just about bearable in the car, but on the train, sheesh!!!

[Flip Martian]

At least you're commuting against the "tide" all coming into London to go to work...

I commute from Wolverton to Euston every day - beats driving the same journey by a LONG long way...

Chance'd be a fine thing. Who'd think I'd be missing my last contract on the Local Government Gravy Train for Islington Council. Taxpayers money straight into my back pocket for doing naff all, and I got to ride the Suzy SV1000S into work every day ...
