Brewman 1,192 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I was making progress in getting a shotgun and possibly a.22 this summer. Had a decent permission sorted with decent wild fowl and possibly another one with a few bunnies on it. I also had money put aside for a deposit so no going back. We are also looking at buying a little bit of land which I have been to several times and each time I have seen bunnies and/or pheasant, I was like a kid in a toyshop. But then the turbo went in my car and it'll cost me my gun money and then some.... Just my feckin luck. Anyone else being fecked over by circumstance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's rubbish, sorry for the way that turned out. I'd a bit of bad luck last year, purchased a bull (wanted one for years) finally right time. Everything all ready herd number application in for cattle, pigs moved and ready for inspection told me initially as it wasn't for commercial reasons all I'd need is a isolation bay and the land, means of handling and indoor shelters. Great, yip have all that.. Rang day before saying they forgot to say a crush for the yearly TB test. Couldn't get one in time. Kissed goodbye to that, was that sickened I've not went on to do it yet. But I'll have my day and my bull someday. Just like you will your gun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Had a turbo go a few years ago & that screwed me for a while......but that's life when you're living on a monthly basis lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Usually it's the oil seals that go in turbos. If your good with a spanner you can buy the refurbishment kits fairly cheap now. There's also companies that will refurbish your old one. Usually a damn sight cheaper than a new one?

The one 8,579 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I bought a Astra diesel for my shooting as I thought I would save on the fuel , the starter went ,that's £500 the alternator went ,thats £500 . £500 seemed the only price the garage knew the repairs cost more than I paid for the car . I scrapped it after the glow plugs went Quote Link to post Share on other sites
