Further to my post in the 'Angry' thread a few days back about my wife hitting a rock & losing oil from the bottom of the motor in her Mitsubishi Mirage, it is now sorted.
Bad news is that it wasn't the oil filter, or the sump pan, but was actually the sump itself.
Good news is that wife had already booked in to the workshop for an oil change which was going to cost $100 with her supplying oil & filter (which was cheap compared to ther places she enquired at!) & they quoted her a total of $350 to replace the sump with one from a wreckers & including the oil change. Apparently the Mirage construction allows for easy replacement of the sump, unlike on many cars where the cost can run into the thousands.
Even better news is that when she went to pick it up the bill was less than the quote, at $267 including the oil change, & a service! Can't complain about that. What a shame that we find a good & reasonable priced mechanic in Traralgon, just as we've moved to Ballarat. For anyone down that way it is MacDonalds in Mcmahon St.
The Racv looked afer her well too. With no hire car available on Monday they put her up in a motel in Traralgon overnight, with a taxi to the motel, & again to work the following morning, & then provided a hire car for two days all at no cost. Wife was pleased that she had already informed Racv of our change of home address, they knew she was still working in Traralgon & staying at friends next door to our old address, but were more than happy to provide the service.
Considering we were talking about the possibility of having to replace the car because of the damage last weekend the actual outcome was unimaginably good.
That sounded like about the best outcome you could have hoped for, good to hear.Quote:

The Anti-Biotics have kicked in and I don't feel like ripping my tooth out with pliers. I got given some old but usable cladding to re-roof the goats' shed. To top off a great day, my son has learned how to change gears without popping the clutch in the Old Trol.
Needed to fill up the tank on the wife's car so I checked the fuel watch website 1 place selling petrol for $1.439 the next best in the area was $1.579. Pretty happy I checked the website.
Last 4hours and counting at Lend Lease, Baulderstone, Lend Lease. Its been good but time to move on. Ahhhhhhhh now 11 days off before all hell breaks loose at my new gig
