The poor Beastmobile seems to be ailing .
This car has put up with some terrible abuse over the years .
Mr C has borrowed in on numerous occasions , its usually delivered back looking like someone emptied the bins in it
Lloyd has chewed most of the fixtures and fittings at one time or another
Alfie has been sick in it.
Its been reversed into , keyed , shunted and still stalwartly flies backwards and forwards to Cafe C at least three times a week .
Now its making alarming squealing noises from the engine when you start it up and strange hicccups from the right hand rear wheel when you drive over 50 mph.
I will be checking it into the garage next week for a bit of TLC.
Lets hope it makes a speedy recovery :-(

I think the kindest thing would be to put it out of its misery.
Do you want to make a bid on my car?
Your car is far to 'pimped' for my taste Mr F , some would say the faux ermine seat covers and mink scatter cushions were a mite over the top not to mention he the custom chandelier and disco headlights....the Beast is a simple soul with simple tastes
The squealing from the engine will be your fan belt being too loose. Most noticeable when the engine is cold or the weather is damp. You can do this yourself as there's only one nut that needs to be loosened to tighten the belt.
Rear-wheel sounds like a wheel bearing.
fan belt and bearings have gone!!
Electrics! Does it happen when you have your headlights on in damp weather?
How's your big end?
Sx
Had you considered trading it in under the new exchange system where you get 10,000 ooff a new car ... hic
Perhaps Lloyd's in the engine making squealing noises and Alfie's hicupping near the rear wheel.
*smears Cheesy Wotsits-covered fingers over upholstery and fecks off*
I hope the Beastmobile makes a full recovery. It sucks not having your car. A rental just isn't the same--even if it is the latest model with all the fancy options.
I take it you've had some time to look at a few cars on line and imagined getting a new one, should you need to replace the Beastmobile. Perhaps you can get a Transformers model, one that can get you to work on time and blast away rude drivers on the road.
