my car is fucked 
today i took my sister to coventry and on the way this warning light came on in my car, then the car started to shake every so often, so i ended up going quite slow, when we got there i started ringing everyone to find out if they knew what was wrong and no one did, so i started to journey home and the light went off so i thought it was all good, but no i went round a roundabout and it came back on, and then when i came to some trafic lights and had to stop the engine started growling and the rev counter went crazy, i thought the car was gonna blow up
i made it home in the end without it braking down.
i did a bit of reasearch on the net to try find out whats wrong with it and i think its something to do with the crankshaft sensor.
i rang the garage up to book it in and they said its gonna cost 45 just for a diagnostic which is crazy all they do is plug a compter into the car and it gives them a fault code. then god knows how much its gonna cost for them to fix whatever is wrong with it.
i could understand if it was an old banger but its an 04 corsa, and i only had an mot about a month ago.
now im carless untill its fixed.
haha moan over :p
