So, it is I, on my way to work on Monday morning (all bright and early preparing for Supplier site visits), coming down Monte Vista onto the N1, planting my better half greedily in 3rd gear, into the fast lane. :excited:
Seconds later while watching my rev counter, at 6.5rpm, my car chokes and splutters and "smothers". :dropjaw: Giving fuel, but nutting is happening, slowing down just as fast as I sped up! :shocked:
"Oh fok",
were my words, "this cannot be happening to me!!" :bawling: I couldn’t even move over to the slow lane and pull off. :cursin:
Noooo one was interested in giving me that gap (after all, someone was a vark on the road to start off with)
To make a very long story short, Fuzzy diagnosed the problem herself. Called in the troopers to rescue her from certain death if not rescued soon (broken down next to the fast lane is hazardous for anyone’s health).
Its the petrol pump I told my husband!! What a relief it was when I saw the towtruck! “Aaai toggie Mrs K, what have you done now?†was Daltons first words.
Soo fuzzy writes off the day (I need my car tomorrow – I cannot do site visits on the motorbike) and see’s to her baby. I buy a petrol pump, install and she continues to cough and splutter. Change the fuel filter and she continues to cough and splutter!
Fuzzy being sterk gevreet is taking matters into her own hands and don’t want to be told….
Then a little voice says to her, “biatch, what kinda of a mechie are you bru, why have you not opened your bonnet yet? So I open my bonnet and my eye almost immediately falls on the intake manifold boot, which has been “sucked†in completely! :dropjaw:
Nay it is torn! I will not be able to drive without replacing this! Placed an order for a replacement, but it will not be here for a fairly long while. Glued it and put it back. :bawling: hate shortcuts like these!
NOTE TO ONE’S SELF, “DO NOT drive over 100km/hr and remove all temptation to floor itâ€Â. Gradual acceleration is your motto for now!
All I can say is, it’s been a very frustrating few days now. Even my car hates driving like Miss Daisy!!
