Owing to a dodgy radiator I've been trying not to use my car as much until I could get it sorted.
Finally today I arranged for my mechanic mate to fit the new radiator, so he arrives, removes the old one and fits the new one, we fill it up with coolant and water and guess what!?
The ~~~~ing thing is pissing water from the plastic side mounts! :(
Close inspection reveals a tiny hairline crack running along the seem of the two plastic moulded sections, I'm ~~~~ing livid. :(
I phone the place in Newcastle where I bought it (on eBay) and they tell me to return it for 'inspection', fair enough I suppose, but then he says "return it to us and we'll then return it to our supplier who will inspect it and decide wether or not you qualify for a refund" - so where does that leave me in the meantime? ~~~~ing stranded with a car with no radiator, ~~~~ knows how long it will take to get a refund/replacement.
Bastards.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!
