wlie 0 #1 August 21, 2003 As in Fixin' Or Repairin' Monthly. Started out with a nasty vacumm leak. Then the horn went out. After that, the driver side door only opens from the outside. So I finally got the cracked intake regulator valve replaced. Right after that the idle's reving high - probably the bypass valve or the idle speed control thingy. And yesterday, one of them cooling hoses started bleeding radiator fluid like a wounded Predator alien. Oh... And the A/C is only good for bringing down the engine temp I don't think Ms. Cleo sees a brand new Infinity in my cardsMy other ride is the relative wind.

bluefingers 0 #7 August 22, 2003 Found On Rubbish Dump Fix or Repair Daily I feel your pain ... i've got a fiesta and the damn thing gives me endless uphill. Ok, the last bit of damage (blew my engine) was because I managed to ramp a truckwheel travelling at 140km/hour and put a hole in my radiator, but that's all fixed now. Then it started jerking, the mechanic tells me it's a "flat spot". "That's nice, please fix it" (i was getting whiplash every time I accelerated). Get a call telling me that I need to replace my oxygen sensor. To the tune of ZAR2000. My what?????????? apparently it's some goodjit on the exhaust manifold. Of course, I don't have that money sitting around, so I tell them to leave it, I'll buy myself a neckbrace instead. So they disconnect the goodjit and now my car is running just fine . Probably polluting the atmosphere, but hey, this is Africa. There are far worse on the road ... Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
