More Car Woes

So, I got my car back last Wednesday after I finished at work. By Saturday it had voided itself of most of its oil.
The culprit ... a dodgy cam shaft seal which had been newly fitted with the replacement cam belt on Wednesday.

As you would expect, the mechanic who fitted the parts fitted a new seal free of charge and got the car back to me pretty quickly; making the oil in the car the third set of fresh oil in as many weeks.

This has highlighted the need to get rid of my car as soon as possible, so I am now actively hunting for my next car, ideally a 1.3 Rover Mini cooper sport.
