1996 CL 325,000 no engine or trans issues. I have owned it from new and never 'babied' it.

shame wangara is over 10km from my place!

this afternoon after paying bunnings a visit, reversed and it stalled. turned it back over and that lasted a few seconds then nothing.
now all she does is turn on but thats about it. we walked 25 minutes back home and got the other car. put in fuel as it was a low. nothing.

drove around and after a two stops finally found tow ropes. not highly stocked by the looks of it.

then we had to wait for my father so he could drive my car, in tow. he had a lot of trouble stopping and steering himself; so i'm seriously glad we had the help!

RAC say it is most likely the fuel pump. or a blockage? so car hospital for us tuesday, with a free tow within 10kms.

an annoyance but the joy of owning a car hey?

p.s on the walk home we saw two crows chasing a young dove. the dove was running under a car and then the crows managed to scare it out and death! now that was something you wouldn't see when driving your car ...

Hi car needs 3 things to run, spark, fuel and compression. Sounds like fuel but need to test. Golfwagen can have a look if you want, just let me know.

I think Wangara is over 15 kms from my house, but I wouldn't trust anyone else with my VR6... Joe knows his stuff. I drive my car there from Nedlands.

There is a VW/Subaru specialist joint in Balcatta if thats closer. I've used him before - nice guy, knows his stuff.

But still, Golfwagen is it for me, even if I too have to drive a bit to get there and the poor sod is nowhere near a train station!
