Watch out for those Mechanics ! Funny story.

Post by Bartamann »

Back in '93 when I got my boy (Piazza) the first time I picked it up from my mates place and went for a drive. After driving for an hour the radiator light came on. Not knowing where the water went i rang my mate to ask (Dumbo I was) him where it was. He told me stuffed if I know the dealer looks after that, i found it and then filled it up, i actually filled up the wiper washer. The dial went into the red. I drove home when it cooled down . I then found the correct area and filled it up. I took to a mechanic next dayand he had a look and told me I'd blown the head gasket and it would cost me $600-$800 to repair. I then took to a mate and he found a hose was leaking. I have to tell you that these cars can take a lot of beating except as everyone will agree. The christmas tree dash is a bloody nightmare !
