Well...........?

They didn't get to it today...I've waited this long, I can wait another day or so.

Got the call to go and collect the car at 6pm today. I turned up and they said "it'll need a new battery too".

f**k knows why they tell me this now. I tell them to put one in tomorrow but I can't pick the car up until Saturday.

Walk away empty handed again.

Dafuq...

Pricks.

Here's to hoping that it fixes it, though

Doesn't surprise me.

These days, it really doesn't surprise me.

When I got there they said that the alternator is now kicking out a good 14.7 amps but I'll need a new battery.

I was like "why didn't you call me and tell me?" and he just looked at me like an

So he's going to put on in today, then test the car to see if it fixes the issue.

I'll report back on Saturday.

And you know what the moral of the story is here? Drive the friggen thing more than once a month!

I can... looking at my 2011, used once & now expired, $110 Wakefield license

Same here. I saw it the other day and thought the exact same thing. Money well spent...

I had three weeks off work to fix my car so I am ready to hit the track again. Did not get chance to do any thing as I had to look after my pop .

We do need another track day. If I run the 121 down there I could do one lap to your two well better make that three .

Be a while before I can go again. I need 4 new tyres, all 4 of my Teins need rebuilding + some other suspension work F@cken money pit!

How long does it take to put in a bloody battery?

If my calculations are correct...

4 hours/$240 worth of labour on a good day

Also, lawso's swift would have to be pushed around.. it got written off
