Yes. I've had four garages that have failed to look after my cambelts properly. No idea what that means.
>>Breaking down is always a pain in the arris, even if it's on the drive at home, let-alone on the road.
Yes. Though I had a flat tyre on Friday, and fixing that was MUCH more problematic than the waterpump, and not that much cheaper either. Kwik Fit took two hours to change two front tyres and do the tracking. Plus I lost an hour changing the tyre (I was supposed to be on (listening to) a conference call which I could have done from the car, but instead I was staring at a flat tyre so the call was taken from a stationary position). And an hour trying to track down a tyre.
