I was going to call this the "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" thread, but this will do.  I feel that as we all share the same suffering of a broken Ford from time to time, we should share the times when our generally trusty steeds let us down. I'll get the ball rolling: Daz's Saff - when was the last time you saw this out in the fresh air?!?   My rotor arm failed during an overtake on the A134:  And who can forget this epic failure of XR-Poo-I vs physics:  Add yours.  |

I take my first comment back - I'm gonna rename this to the HAHAHAHAHAHAH thread.  It's gotta be said though we had that new throttle cable fitted pretty quick!  |

this leads to me a question i've always had - did the AA fix it, and what exactly do they carry with them in terms of parts?! I assume a number of generic belts and some jubie clips?!!

Pretty much. I think churchy's throttle cable was crimped on with brute force, and held together with hope.
The AA man didn't have a rotor arm specifically for my car, only had one that "looked similar" and I'd need to change it ASAP, as well as pay for the one he gave me!
