"i just want to get this of my chest the car is doing my head in.
Before anyone says it im fully aware its French.
Ive got problems after blooming problems.
First of all both my god damn wish bones are rattling about like 
because the ball joints have gone. secondly the drop links are loose and rattling about. There is a bit of plastic hanging off under car that i cant remove for some reason that is constantly dragging on the road while im driving. my exhaust is now bent and doesnt sit centered in the cut out on bumper looks like .
Both my front seats are loose and shift about when driving and i dont have the tools to tighten them back up.
The spare wheel under the car at back is bouncing about when driving and its tightend up fully.
the plastic bit at front of car where the badge sits is hanging off. this has been like this since i got the car but with everything else its now pissing me off.
and to top it all off ive got a slow puncture!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont need any help. i just wanted to have a rant about it. as im ed off.
its a 5 year old car and anyone would thing it was a 20 year old car
OH and my brakes a whistling

"my old Peugeot 205 was a 1989 G Reg and jesus it was ace a few things went wrong but most the bits were cheap as chips! and everything could be repaired with a 10mm spanner and a cross head screw driver with the occasional rare 12mm on the seats seatbelts etc lol oh the joys. as for your original rant phil sadly some cars are like that my old bravo had everything under the sun go on it 3 gearboxes numerous suspension arms and other bits it was a nightmare! current bravo (litterally touches wood) so far has been ok only a few issues that have been my fault anyway or were going anyway. i guess it depends on how the person before you looked after the car and just the luck of the draw!!"
"Well the previous owner before me was an old woman lol so crunching gears. burning clutch etc springs to mind lol. but im the 2nd owner.
But when i think about it. a vast amount of the problems are self inflicted.
for instance.
Front seats loose? took them out bout 4 month ago to vac car properly.. probably not fastened em properly.
Front wishbones and drop links rattling? had front end lowered and they needed brute force to remove these parts b/c they were siezed in place.
Exhaust bent? ive had car lowered so may have twated something on road like a speed bump or summin.
And i thin the spare wheel bouncing about is b/c i aint put the brace back on. found it in my room last night lol.
BUT the plastic bit under car plastic bumper thing brakes and flat tyre aint my fault lol.
When i get paid im going to see if i can afford to put it all right. ive already purchased a new exhaust backbox (b/c ive learnt that ive somehow dented and bent mine) need to get x2 new wishbones. x2 new drop links and x1 track rod end.
Fasten spare wheel brace inplace. tighten front seats change brake pads fasten front bumper thing down with something and rip/cut off the bit under car and it should (touch wood) be fine again
