It's a funny pulsing sensation you get in your arse when sat at 125mph and the engine drops to running on four cylinders.
Not ideal when you have drove 250miles north for a golf holiday with the lads and you kind of need the car. Anyway, I was two miles from the B&B and just let her coast back, she was running rougher than a rough thing. Was sure I had cracked a liner or something mechanical, engine light flashed on then off again. So parks in front of B&B unloads, cracks open a bottle of Jack to drown sorrows and calls the AA. We don't have services that far north she says, so it will be one of our garage partners that will attend they will call you within an hour!!!! Four mins later ring ring.... Explains to the Brora chap what happened, will be there within an hour, 20mins later...... peep peep. He starts her up still running on four, plugs his code reader in. Relax he says, coil pack bank 4! Long story short, he took the car on Friday, says I will need to collect Monday once they had the part and fixed. Next day (Sat) he tracked me down to Golspie Golf club at 1pm when I finished first round, bar tender says, are you Big G? John from Brora has been on the phone, says your car is fixed. I calls him, part came in this morning so just fixed it he says. Do you want to collect? As I had a few drinks night before (two bottles JD), I thought prudent not to drive. Can you deliver the car to Dornoch I say, sorry sir your cover does not cover that he says. What if I give you £50 I say. See you in a hour sir! Best service ever. New Delphi coil pack only cost me £44 (Sorry not OEM part). Love the AA and now love John from Brora Garage Services.
