All started last friday, coming back from work (12 miles away) offside brake caliper seizes, so I limp home at 30mph, get caliper off, totally jammed solid  upon removal see the pads have disintegrated and fallen to bits
New set of calipers and pads later, decide to look at the wiring (radio kind of..stopped working few weeks ago 
Whilst refitting alloys, switched ignition on to turn wheel, smoke pours out from hole where radio is - im like, wtf is this? ignition off, on, smoke booooooooof then flames  Immediately took batt lead off, seems the remote wire from dash earthed out on the sub leads in the boot...mystery 
So anyway, to top it all off, driving to college 30 miles away from home, just get into the outskirts of the city, hear a crunk and a bang from engine bay, hmmm must of driven over something............100 yeards later battery light comes on on the dash - bolt has vibrated out of the engine mount, thus breaking the engine mount in half 
first day back to college after xmas as well. Oh well, I'd be bored if I wasn't doing something in the evenings

Had a close look at tyres tonight, the proxes t1-s's that were fitted on the front a month ago are now bald on the inside
Had the fcuking tracking done the week after having new tyres too 
EDIT by the way, rant is not pointed at all vauxhalls, mine is going through some bad luck at the moment though
