I've had a stroke of bad luck recently, and I've gotta air this to make me feel better!

1) Somebody ripped my wipers off. I couldn't drive the car in the rain as a result! They had to be replaced at a cost! :veryangry

2) My mitsu hub caps got stolen on my 17" rims. I've yet to find a replacement!
:veryangry

3) I added extra ground cables to the engine bay. Whilst undoing a bolt on the engine itself using a wrench, the bolt head snapped and was sheared off! :uhoh2:

4) The rack cable on the power antenna broke. A new antenna costs >30 quid! :sad3:

5) So today I decided to replace the antenna.
In the process of removing the antenna, I used a pair of pliers to undo the chrome/plastic nut which holds the antenna seal to the chassis.

The chrome nut sheared itself off!!!!!! The buggers are so brittle! :Cry1:

Now there is just a hole in the chassis because nothing is holding the seal down! And its raining hard!

:wall: Grrrr! How much more can one take! :wall:

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement chrome nut part for 5)?


I've also lost my voice because of the cold, and I've also had to write this blasted message 5 times because my damn PC keeps crashing!

Woe is me!!!

That sound like woe. Your MMC Dealer should have all the parts you need.
