Gear transport mechanism costs - 16:40
I finally got the car service I have been putting off for a while done. Last
time I had it in there they mentioned the radiator will need replacing, so I
got that done this time. Also last weekend while my car was locked in secure
parking at my sister's place in Sydney with Matilda (double sea kayak) on the
roof some retards came along and stuck a screw driver or something in the
drivers side lock. Thus I needed a new barrel on the lock, this means to
unlock the car on the drivers side I now use a different key to the one I use
for ignition and the passenger side. I have had to deal with this on other
cars in the past and it is a PITA.
I guess I should be happy whoever it was did not damage Matilda and that was
the only damage to the car. Anyway the whole shebang cost AUD $1230, around
$200 of that was on the new lock barrel and associated labour so not worth an
insurance claim ($500 excess). Now I can go back to putting off the car
servicing until I absolutely need to for a while, well apart from the two new
front tyres I need that they did not do at the time.
