Had a rubbish day yesterday after seeing me poor old mum in hosp. still plumbed in to the NHS grid

The ruddy ward has been closed down due to Novovirus

proper crimbo cheer I dont think..........
So me and the family are hammering it home on the M4 in the wife's focus when.....
SPLAT, cough, no power, all the dash lights start a flashin' and we gently cruise to a stop on the hard shoulder

Bugger

Called the RAC who said they were up to their ears in call outs n snow n that

anyway as we're on the motorway we're a prority case

(not special rt paullllly)
Anyway the nice man from the RAC was actually with us in 30 mins and set about trying to fix it. Trouble was found to be a dead diesel pump

Bugger

So another hour for a pick up truck and we were off. While we waited the RAC van waited behind us so we didnt have to wait outside in the freezing cold

So hoora for the RAC and ya boo to the ruddy diesel pump

Anybody want a 1.8 Focus TDi spares or repair?
