Vauxhall ups and downs
As mentioned earlier i have a vauxhall corsa. The car is a nice run around, i do around 50 miles to work (100 round trip), 5 days a week and i do travel a bit on the weekend. So i need a reliable car, a nice run around with good fuel efficiency. This plus the fact I am under 25 means a nice low insurance group is also a needed necessity.
Anyway the year of my vauxhall car is 1995, however i do have some new vauxhall parts in there such as a new car gearbox put in last year. I have had it for 4 years and nothing bar the car gearbox has every gone wrong.
Yesterday however it broke. the vauxhall engine decided to become flat or the immobilizer might be doing overtime. I have tried jump starting it, however it only works if it is warm, thus i am leaning towards a flat vauxhall engine. Now either i drained the car battery and can simply recharge it, or it is leaking energy somehow and i need a new car engine battery for the engine.
So my day was thrown off yesterday since i got up at 6.45, got ready for 8 and went to set off to work and to my surprise the vauxhall engine does not kick in. This meant i had to get a bus to Durham from my home, then a train from Durham to Darlington, then another train to Thornaby and finally to Billingham in which my boss picked me up from the train station and i was in my office doing work from 11.
So although i love my vauxhall car it seems it might be worth getting a new vauxhall with a fully functioning vauxhall engine. I will keep you posted on the status of either my new car or fixing my little vauxhall. PS in the meantime i am insured on my mam’s Ford KA, which in my eyes is a bad drive on a good day, and its a 2000 reg, 5 years on from my vauxhall.
One bonus is that if i should need vauxhall parts i work at CarSpareFinder so it ain’t all bad.
