I've heard it all now

[Langtrees VIP Darwin]

So i was chatting to Lana (receptionist) and i told her that i brought a car.
She asked if it was algd, I said yes seems to go really well and i gave it a bit of a check over before i brought it.
I.E Froth in water, colour of oil, water, brakes etc etc
She said do you check things like that and i said for sure, every week.
She said she never does, but checked the oil once and it was low. She brought some to top up, and then returned the
oil because it was a different colour. I dont think i have laughed so much in my life.
So funny, im laughing thinking about it.

This is why you shouldn't take you car in for a service, even if the oil is off colour!

 

[Sexty8]

Even if its the right colour its really hard to pour it down that small dip stick hole...

On a more serious note the R.A.C. offers members a short car maintenance and care course which covers all the basics about looking after what is usually your second most costly purchase. They provide a lot of useful information which can save you a lot of grief and at least if you do get stuck and have to call for Roadside Assistance you can intelligently state the problem using the right lingo instead of "one of the little round thingies on the corners is flat..."

If the ladies ever need a service I'm happy to help where I can

awww...embarrassment is part of learning, educate us. heheee....

alright, I'll share mine then. I had my 1st car and it was an auto. So one funny evening, I decided to go to the shops, parked the car and went about my light shopping. When I got back to the car, I couldn't start the damn thing. I panicked and alerted the whole village for help. Then my bro got to me just in time, and push the stick from Drive to Park, hail presto engine started like a purring cat. Needless to say, the teasing was endless and one red faced Homer got no where hide his face. I swore I saw my hair changed colour.

Slightly different But I had Auto steer installed in a tractor once
Well I had bought a new Boom Spray but had not added the new 4metres or so of width the new boom covered
I was happily spraying the top paddock (so to Speak) When Kabang The arm of brand new sprayer found the Only tree in the whole paddock The ONLY tree Worse still my Neighbour was looking on
"Well would ya believe it The Only tree in the whole paddock"

Saturday arvo at the Nabawa tavern I was welcomed with the chorus of
"Well would ya believe it the Only tree in the whole F****n paddock"

Well let me tell you a little secret, this is exactly what Lana did hahaha

Easy to get caught out with cars today - particularly the newer ones.

I have spent what seemed like hours just trying to start a car. This particular car required that one had ones foot on the clutch while starting.

A lot of cars today require that one has ones foot on the brake pedal before the car will start.

And what about trying to start a car without a key?

Quite recently I couldn't figure out how to release the hand break. There was no hand brake. The car had an electronic handbrake and it was simply a click of a button.

So, Lana, don't feel bad - we have all been caught out at some time or another.

Sadly i have put oil down that small hole.... and before you ask how did i get it down there.... i went and bought one to fit..... i was very proud of myself

 

[Maria]

There was a lovely young lady I worked with once and she was going on a road trip and wanted to check her oil and water before going but didn't know how. So me being the country bumpkin I am, I offered to look.

So I stood at the bonnet and asked her to pop it her reply was " I don't know how the mechanics do that"

I had to try so hard not to laugh as I had just changed a radiator and a front cross bar in oneday the day before due to some bumper action lol

 

[Langtrees VIP Darwin]

Maria, seriously this gives me a big belly laugh as I used to to have a wreckers yard myself and just knowing the
basic things would be good for any girl, to be honest

 

[Maria]

I was out in my good dress and all trying to explain where everything was, but sorta gave up lol she can pay the mechanics hundreds for basic knowledge. I tried

And here's me fixing my brakes tomorrow before work :-D
Being country has a few handy quirks, but stuff fixing astras lol never again backwards EVERYTHING

True that Lana, but true Westie style (Auckland), I drive around with my arm out of the window, so hence, I can
still hear the bloody thing

[Maria]

Make sure you have on of those annoying mechanics star screwdriver other wise you can't get the engine cover off argh lol

 

[svengali]

Yep, that is my pet peeve with modern cars, particularly Japanese ones.

There is just so much damn stuff under the bonnet with wires and tubes running every which-way that it is hard to see how anyone other than a double-jointed midget or an octopus could work on them.

I used to do my own basic repairs, tune-ups etc but these days I am happy to leave it to the guys in the blue overalls as I no longer know what half the bits and pieces under the bonnet do.
