Hi All,
So tis been a while since i've posted up on here or even been on the website, anyway, thought id let everyone know my litlle journey to NSW last week from MElbourne.
So work tells me theres a couple building that need to be inspected in NSW, So i thought id take the car up instead of plane....
Just got the car serviced before that yet i still checked all the fluids just to be 100% sure, and they were all good.
There was one weird thing though every couple of weeks i have to pump up all 4 tyres, they get down to approx. 30psi every couple of weeks, however they are practically new tyres? does anybody elkse get this?
Anyway, leave Melbourne 5am half way up there i stop to fill up petrol and get a coffee, at this point i notice a screw in my rear right tyre!!!??? so im sort of p!!sed off but saw it wasnt that bad so i continued, i got to Albury NSW had a look at the tyre again and the screw was gone and the tyre was deflating slowly, quickly head of to get it patched up and the mechanic dude says he cant patch it up due to 'duty of car' because the hole was on the side of the tyre so at this stage i had no other option but to buy a new tyre of him for $270!!!!!, okay so now its all good couple hundred out the pocket but all is good and safe now...
Anyway i get to the inspection do my thing and head of to the hotel were i was staying the night, had a good nights sleep wake up in the morning get to the car, and make my way back to Melbourne, half way to MElb. i stop to fill up petrol, do a little walk around the car this time i see the rear left tyre has a puncture, so at this stage im like !!!!
in the middle of nowhere couldnt do anything, but put on the 'space save' spare tyr on, so i go to the boot of the car look in the boot and theres no spare tyre!!!!!!! i bought the car with 6,000km on it i mean , how could there be no spare tyre lol....
so i slowly make my way to the closest mechanics were he put a new tyre on i go to pay and theres no money in my account, my wife took some money out to buy clothes so im stranded in the middle of nowhere.... luckily enough the mechanic was a nice dude and when i got back to melbounre he let me transfer the money into his account....
Now we have a couple inspections to do in Bendigo, from Bendigo to Wangarrata from Wangaraata to Falls Creek, and he told me to do them hahahah now im scared to travel anywhere in this car, seems like bad luck hahaha.
Anyway im board at work so thought i would share my experince with you alkl hahaha..
