"Just one of those days!"

Post by Andy P »

Everyone has them, those days that nothing goes right - but why is it my life consists of nothing but these days!!

I've had the past week off work to look after our new little kitten and I was pretty confident I'd get the valver finished and on the road. I mean all I had to do was finish the water pipes, fit the inlet, sort the fuel system and decifer the loom... It is now of course mid saturday and low and behold- the car still hasn't been started.

EVERYTHING that could have gone worng has gone wrong. Its just one thing after another. I finially got to a point where I could start it and of course- no luck. I'm pretty confident my wiring is correct - the injectors are getting fuel to them, I'm getting sparks, it just dosen't want to fire up!! So before lunch I think, I'll fit the bonnet back on, and what do you know, it comes crashing to the floor, big dent in the corner and big scuff mark on the bumper sm2

I've not even scratched the surface on how bad my week has gone...

HUFF.

I've a feeling the non start issue is due to the bargain £2.60 ecu I bought off ebay. It was from a phase 1 renault 19 (my engine is clio - unsure of year). Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a valver that I can test it on :(

I don't know what it is, but certainly about everything seem to be going wrong here too, even simplest things where I don't even understand how one can fail seem to go wrong no matter how hard I try to make sure nothing can't go wrong.

Even if I would stay on bed, there would probably be something going awfully wrong in that too, maybe it is somekind of radiation spreading all over world sm1

Maybe it's the Hadron Collider experiment catching up?!!
