To Sydney, I hate you. Love Ross (its a long read)

first of all.. i couldnt help but laugh at the fact you all actually read it!

Probably the engine wash I reckon

i suspect so.. i put the fuse back in the next day and it was all good.



loon : i rang the guy that previously serviced it and he was flat out.. i was gonna get him to fix and do the service at the same time.. im heading down in 2 weeks to see linkin park and chris cornell.. is it worth taking it to him then? altho ive had the filter and new oil put in (it was totally empty so i would suspect it classes as an oil change..) and i flushed the crap out of the engine and radiator and replaced with some new coolant..

cheers guys.. glad i could make you all laugh i aim to please!

If you are gonna bring it to Sydney mate, you may as well bring it to us.
I now have a full time service mechanic and have just expanded.

It probably does count as an oil change as you did the filter and new oil. Would be good to keep the service book stamped up to date though.

yeh might be worth it.. altho it'll be a crunt getting out to camden!

if it happens, i might get you to check out the engine.. sometimes when i kick it over.. it only fires 3 cylinders like the jetta did.. usually if i let it sit for half a min.. turn it off then turn it back on.. it fires all 4.. the mechanic noticed it.. pulled all the pistons out and turned it on.. checked them all then plugged em back in and it was all good.. weird.

i think the exhaust needs new rubbers too.. if therse anyone in the back.. it vibrates on the bum of the car.. makes it sound like im dragging along the ground.. and feels it.

I'm coming to Sydney on Friday for the Motor Show, but I'm flying!! Just wish I was driving and bringing the Cordoba with me, so you could give the once over.

My rental car will be a Fiat Punto!!
