High pressure fuel pump went. First 'major' thing I've had with it. It's 10 years old now, I've had it for 5 years.
My last car in the UK was an older one with the supercharger instead of the turbo.

Good to know. We bought it with a known problem. OH is changing the gearbox. I will be probably having it and saying goodbye to my Audi tt.

The ammonium nitrate in the explosion appears to have been sitting there for the past 7 years, was apparently supposed to go from Georgia (the country) to somewhere in Africa, but the ship made an unscheduled stop in Beirut, something happened, and the ammonium nitrate ended up in a warehouse there.

I love them. My first car was a mini and several in between. My son has just bought one...that needs a bit of loving...and he really is loving it.

Spoke on the phone and he had a Volvo do similar - replaced high pressure fuel pump and then a couple of days later same symptoms. On that one it was grit in a fuel filter so hopefully similar quick fix for the Mini.

Aaaaaaand it's back in the shop. Engine light came on again this morning and revs were hunting up and down ( always fun in traffic )

Three months ago the old, abandoned for a few years, house next door was demolished.
Today the one at the back of us (which was lived in until recently but seems not to be now ) is currently being taken down.
They were both much older than ours but I still feel like standing guard

It would be interesting to see how much these 'lots' are being sold for in Moncton.
When you say they are being torn down...are there plans for a replacement house or houses?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
The one over the back of us was advertised for around $70 or $80k (from memory - 2014/15) and was occupied at the time but from the description it needed a few renos. According to the City property assessment site it sold in 2015 for $45,000 (assessed value $46k) and it was lived in since then.
The one demolished today
Assessed value next door comes up as $87k.
The abandoned one
By way of comparison, this one in the same area went for $141K in 2019 but must have been done up a bit as in 2018 it sold for $110k. The assessed value didn't really change though. That's $147k

I ordered a piece of exercise equipment from Amazon.ca for my MIL on Thursday.
Expected delivery (free) on Wednesday or pay $48 to have it tomorrow - Monday.
Not worth forking out almost $50 just to have it 2 days earlier.
Especially as it arrived today, Sunday.
