Why am I so 'kin useless with cars? :(

[SGHOM]

I used to be a petrol head !! not any more

My Mazda's heater packed up.... just blowing cold air out. I put up with it for a few weeks, then rang Chris to confirm it's probably the stat. eventually got round to buying one [ £21 ] & chucked it in the footwell along with 2 dozen empty fag packets & loads of snotty tissues

A few weeks further on.... my temp gauge went off the scale !! empty radiator So, I topped it up, & hey presto.... heater works Whilst I was in petrol station topping up, I checked the oil.


guess what ......... dipsticks too short

Derek, I seem to remember a story involving ditch water. I would say that nothing has changed!
