i had 3 hard drives die on me because i was using outdated drivers on my controller card. not only that but it seems windows always defaults to the outdated ones, so sometimes me moving something will reset it to those drivers and i usually dont notice till the hard drive starts to die. Last time i lost over 500 gigs of info.

I don't think he's laughing tinku.

But ouch thats really rotten for that to happen, must of been shoddy work on their behalf.

I here you, Wraggs. *I'm about to sue someone for the lemon I bought recently.....

He would have probably gotten away with it, but his ass was a bit arrogant earlier so I'm going to take his ass to the cleaners.

I hope things go better for you, dude.

Heh. You said "bonnet". Silly Brit. ;D

That does suck. I would have called the garage right away and asked them what they did to it. When smoke starts pouring out, that sounds like something they definitely should have caught.

[Mental2k]

Wtf happened? what you drivin wraggs? smoke sounds suspiciously like an oil leak... Perhaps oil seals in the valves have gone?

Actually as a guide
* * *blue smoke: oil
* * *white smoke:somethin's wrong with head
* * * * * * * * * * * * * gasket
* * *Black smoke: somethin wrong with fuel, ie too much
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *or not enough oxygen * * * * *

lights gone smoke sounds like electrical fault a big one, wiring burning, but hey wragg no one uses lights in Nottingham. ;D i take it thats where you reside.
