There is no tooth fairy ? yeah right, next thing you'll be saying is that there is no santa as well.

No the real reason is that I have been having car problems. About four month's ago I picked up a M plate ford esort for just under 4 grand. only had 32k on the clock and I brought it off a granny, so I thought great, low mileage and one owner who probably hasn't taken it over 30mph. After about two weeks of having it, it start's stalling mostly every time the engine is idle. So after about a month of this I take it down to a local garage, they have a look and say they can't help. So I then take it to my local ford dealer. Two day's later they come back to me and say it is all sorted and it only came to £60. Great, got it home a couple of weekend's ago and when it cam to the monday morning drive to work (70 miles round the M25) it goes pear shape again and also need's a new clutch.

So I take it back to ford and say I'm not overly happy that they said it was not sorted out but these things happen.

Today I get a phone call from them and they say it's all sorted. I said great what was the problem. well we replaced the clutch and that's sorted out your stalling problem.

I don't know a great deal about cars but I know dodgy clutches shouldn't cause cars to stall, escpecially as I had the stalling problem before clutch problems.

So Im going there on saturday, payup (£330 quid to change a clutch, wich I think is extorsion) and take it for a good spin. If it the stalling problem is sorted (which I doubt) then all well and good, but if it isn't,my head will go like the heads in the film scanners.
