The trick is not to be greedy, be realistic and most importantly, don't have an accident ;)
Fn people and this POS app (sorry AB)
Farkin gas system backfired again and stalled but this time would not start again on gas and when I started it on petrol all it did was idle roughly and had no revs whatsoever :( So he I am on the side of the highway in the breakdown lane with trucks roaring pass me at 80+ clicks and all I can think about is that guy and girl that got killed a while back that was on the side of the road broken down.
Rang the missus and said you better pick up our daughter as I'm going nowhere, lucky she was able to leave work and pick her up. Not with NRMA roadside so rang my old man who is an ex diesel mechanic..........typical no answer on home phone, rang his mobile.....no answer!!!! Buy this time I'm wondering if I would make it by 6pm to pick up my boy from pre-school and wishing I was at home with a coldie in my hand.
Decided to ring my local mechanic ( which by the way I don't use that often so didn't like my chances ) and asked him what was the chances of coming out and having a look. I'll be there in 10 was his reply :)
He believed there was a problem with the gas converter ( I think thats what it was called ) and buy passed it so it would hopefully run on petrol. Managed 2 get it back 2 the workshop and lucky for me the gas specialist next door to them was still open so sent me around to him. He pulled what i think was the gas converter apart and sure enough I had blown the diaphragm so it wasn't making a proper seal. The guy said whoever had put the diaphragm in did not put it the correct way and because of that it allowed it to blow in when it backfired because one of the bolts wasn't holding it in properly.............well something like that anyway.
Finally back on the road, picked son up from pre-school and daughter up from my partners work was meant to do some shopping but said bugger that I'm going home for a beer
So here I am in the angry thread with a beer in hand :)
Car still backfiring on gas so leaving it on petrol for now, going to ring the the mechanics 2morrow and book it in 2 get the leads and plugs done then in a few weeks when money permits will book it into the gas specialist and get it tuned.
Well thats it for the angry thread 2day, going to have another beer and head on over to the happy thread
P.S: I WISH I WAS DRIVING MY GQ and not the crappadore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got declined for my leave for the October trip :(
Thats a shocker mate!
With all that backfiring keep an eye on your airbox coz they tend to blow up, also there is a pipe the goes from the throttle body to a purge valve near the transmission dipstick that pops off and there is another pipe that cracks that goes from the throttle body to the front of the pletnum near the coilpack.
Just received a pre recorded political phone call telling me who I should not vote for!!!!!!!!!!!!
So much been on the do not call register, oh hang on a sec isn't that a government run agency
Had my troll serviced yesterday, all seemed well. Drive ok this morning and afternoon.
Just jumped in the car now to shoot out for a while and she was idling a little rough for my liking.
The day before my service the troll was revving high, after driving home from work. Like the auto choke was on.
Even if I press the choke button on and off it wouldn't change. Bloody hell.
Bloody hell just received a call from my wife saying she's throwing up from both ends.
Made a special effort to be up and ready with the GLW to go Vote at 8 o'clock sharp.
Angry as they did not open till 8.20 and the line was half way around the school.
Waited over 1hr to get to the front. for what a little purple sticker saying I voted.
Think the starter on the crapperdore has sh!t itself, more money out the door :(
