carbonboy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 WGMG - Today. Having issues with getting my cars gearbox working so I take the pushbike to work today. Boss immediately starts giving me $h1t about 'reliability' of Corollas.... Well let's see, that clutch would have to be at least 9 years old & has been flogged for more than 80,000kms by me alone. Would his old MkIII Golf's or BMW X5's or new Puegot's clutch last that long? Or cost less than $200? Not a chance. It has had a few niggles (ignition module, starter motor) in the past but these have been parts that do wear out regardless of what vehicle they're in. Start riding bike home this afternoon, get about 200m down the road & I manage to snap one of the main bolts for the rear swingarm. Reduced to walking, in the rain, yay! Luckily my housemate was able to pick me & the bike up after about 45 minutes. Unluckily, that bolt is not an off-the-shelf item & I have to make a new one. Got home, had a phone conversation with my boss that gave me a day off to fix the car tomorrow, then took it away. He's the boss, whatever, I'll sort out how I'll get to work. Got a text message shortly after saying I can have the day off again, that to fix my car I should look for Hyundais on www.carsales.com.au....The last years worth of repairs/services have cost less than $800, why the f**k would I want to drop $15,000 on a Hyundai? There is no emoticon to express the rage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Customers. Orders 40 + flashings after our 2pm cut off for 24 hour orders then rings at 6pm after hours that day and leaves a message asking for them to be delivered before midday the next day. WTF?

Des Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 WGMG: A mate was storing engines at my old place. We were moving house so i told him to collect them before we moved, He didn't so i got stuck with dumping them and the bill. Same mate.I replaced head gasket, dropped head off at shop and pick it up, replaced timing case and chain on his 22r hilux. Total labour cost $200. Picks his car up pays up and don't hear from him for 3 months. Again same mate. I asked him last Friday to bring over his engine crane before today as i want to rip the diesel out of my parts 4x4. He said yes. Well its not here and he says he is too busy to drop it off. ʞ©$ɟ your crane and ʞ©$ɟ you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
