What have you done to your car today?

[Drunkenmonkey]

what did they do? did you still have to pay?

[Firenza]

Yes, I had to pay 300 or so dollars. They cleaned out the radiator, and fitted a new coolant tank cap as it was supposedly faulty.

I asked them how a bad cap could cause combustion gasses to be detected in the header tank, but they said they did a TK test and it came back negative. And that they had been out in a few times and it showed no problems and yet i went to the petrol station and back and it started bubbling out the Coolant expansion like a proper Mofo.

They said that they would of had to of done the rad clean and cap anyway when I questioned them, which I suppose is true, but I'm still not best pleased considering a ended up wasting a few hours and fuel to go get a car that was showing the same symptoms it was taken in with.

I just hope it can be sorted, as I've only got enough to do this once and thats all my savings gone, so hopefully everything should go alright now.

Highbrook have got a good reputation and Alex seems pretty embarased, but still I don't know where I stand and what to expect.

[dubbedup]

a fixed job with $300 credit might be a good place to start...

[Drunkenmonkey]

does your heater work?

[Firenza]

Yep. Only sign is that there is bubbles in the overflow tank which causes coolant to bubble out, and that combustion gasses were detected in the expansion tank (Twice now, once with a machine and now at Highbrook with the TK tester)
