did i screw up

Postby steveuk » Mon Jan 29, 2007 5:32 pm

in november i purchaced a 03 plate t280 wanted a new one cus my old k reg was very heavy with no power stearing and i was getting fed up with 12 point turns as apose to 3 point turns but reading on here now WOW these things sound like trouble, tried towing a mini digger the other day struggled like hell now its off to the garage cus it wont start seems like i sold a 250quid knacker and brought a 5k shed ps the k reg i kept for 2.5 years repairs were new tyres new exhaust and new break pads the new 1 ive had for 2 months and already the repair bill is more :?: :?: :?:
