On the way home from work last night (Ok, yesterday afternoon!) I was driving calmly and minding my own business (I haven't thrashed the new engine - yet!) I pulled down the A52 slip road as normal and there was a queue as normal. When I came to a stop I noticed smoke coming from my bonnet vents - bit odd I thought! I discounted it as the exhaust from the car in front though as it was pretty smoky. I continued my journey and made the 1 junction up the M1 to find another queue on the sliproad........more smoke /help :embarasse I limped the 2 miles home and popped in at the garage for them to have a look. By this time it was smoking heavily and stank of oil - transmission oil :inquisiti . A quick look under the bonnet revealed large quantities of transmission oil everywhere! After getting it up in the air the garage announced
HOLE IN OIL COOLER :rolleyes4
So a call to Mitsubishi, £275 later I have a new radiatior on the way tomorrow. Just as I had started to get ahead financially my car deals me another blow! Oh well, its only money! And after all...........its worth it! :smug:
