I put my old holden in to get a box rebuilt years ago , It took them 3 weeks & i couldn't work out why & they just kept telling us they where waiting on parts. Anyway i was out doing a delivery for work oneday & seen this nice old HJ coming towards me & it sounded sweet then when it got close i had a look at the number plate , Hey thats my freakin car so i did the delivery i had to do then on the way back i seen it again so i followed it & when he stoped I said WTF are you doing with my car , Its not yours i borrowed it from a mate so i opend the boot & said so is it still not mine na mate its my mates. So i reset the kill switches as there where 4 of them all hooked up together & said fine see if it starts with your key he tryed it nothing ..The kill switches had to be in a sertain way for it to start ..Well they had to get it towed back to the bloke who was to rebuild the box at there expence he wasn't happy..Then i rolled up the next day & gave him an ear full & refused to pay the bill & he said see you in court no worries i took a photo of the car while your mate was driving & it no where near your place of work so you cant say it was a test drive Plus i know the tow truck driver who picked it up..He gave me the keys & said ****off.. So i flicked all the kill switches to where they needed to be & it was fine & i drove away . The bloke was dumb founded when i did that & just drove away..They couldn't work it out the combo for the switches...

That is a piza mate.

They had been driving the bloody thing around for nearly 2 weeks . They had disconected the speedo from the box so it wouldn't count on the odometer , Only found out driving it home cause i court them out they didn't have time to refit it..
That's why i hate taking my cars to anyone..
That lady friend of ours we used to have took her brandnew mazda to get it serviced it was only the third service since it was new.Probably a year to a year & half old. She had a list of what they had done .
New oil & filters
New brake pads front & rear
Adjusted handbrake
And so on.
She asked me to have alook & just check this was when she had just picked it up from the service. Checked the oil it was old But they did change the oil filter..
Checked the air filter they must of started to change it , Then they must of got called to do something else cause there was none in it..
They did the rear pads but not the front they where about half down & i know the rear ones wheren't as bad but they only done the rear..


It allways pays to check even if you have been going to the same guy for years..

YEP a bit better today , I dont wanna not wake up like i did yesterday well so far anyway.. I even fixed a lawnmower today that was given to me cause it didn't go . Does now like a brandnew one I put a coil in it out of a crap old one of mine & a bit of WD40 .. She's a beuty.Flashy colour to bright yellow it's a talon..
