Can someone PLEASE remind me why I still own a french car???
If I fix one thing something new develops, The day after.
Latest: Travelling down the freeway, nice and cozy then a noise (slight werrrring sound) lasts about a minute (slow to 80kph) then nothing, engine free revs and I roll to a stop. Bloody Torque converter has gone and taken its ?splines? with it. Towed all the way home. Thank god for gold NRMA membership.
Before: Fuel pump clogged and not flowing properly so stripped etc
Before that: Rust taken out of both rear doors.
and that: HT leads replaced
again: alternater, starter, battery, front calipers, fan switch, both muffler boxes at once.
Not to mention loose bits and pieces which have been tightened, glued and replaced.
And that is just in the past two years.
Am I just jixed??
Funnily enough my mechanic didn't take my offer of my towed 505 for his Mi16 with a lost sump (damn speed humps.... bet he was pee'd off). Would have done a clean swap as well. hehehee
How can I resore faith in my car???
Jono
And now I just found the largest patch of rust in the world ever!!!! Through my left front wheel well.
As an american used to tell me
"the only people who make cars worse than the americans, are the french"
Lets hope he was only half right.
