the D9 is dead...

Post by jameslxdt »

yep you guessed it, its already given up on me, i was out driving following one of my friends, and i noticed the power was becomming less and less and till there was absolutley nothing, i coasted to a stop and a quick peek under the bonnet revealed the accelerator cable had snapped :cry:
i had no tools with me whatsover so i resorted to using the bandage from my first aid kit to join the cable back together :lol: , i made it back home where its stuck now
so ill get a cable on order tommorow, im just dreading fitting the thing :cry:

Impressive. How on earth did you manage that though? A bandage to fix a broken cable? *confused*
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Such a tragic waste. Aspiring to a D9, yet mocking those more fortunate to own one, all in an attempt to conceal one's desire for a superior machine whilst using self-justification in an attempt to devalue others. [/psychiatrist]
