Remind me to never buy a car off a woman
« on: 12 April 2012, 19:19 »
Was just topping up the air in my tyres when a very pretty young lady asked me if I could top her oil up as her oil light came on (Oh I would have topped all fluids up! She was bang tidy!). So check dipstick and it's dry. Stick 1l of petrol station oil, still dry dipstick  :shocked: She buys another 1l bottle and this gets her to just above minimum  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: She said she'd take the car in for a service this week, to which I highly recommended she did.

Her engine must be weeping it's heart out.

I remember a mate mine said oh my car making a funny noise, (vauxhall thing ) turns up and it sound like an old fiesta, switches off 3.5/4  of oil later and left IT half hour and it was quite again. Couldn't believe his luck he gotten away with it.  He said oh the light did come up but went out so though was ok.  Dont they check it for the mot don't they?

An old boss of mine had a vw transporter tipper, I told him to put some oil in it as when he went round roundabouts the oil light would flash on then go off. He replied "I have done all the work to this van that it needs" so seeing as everything was in order, I put 4.5 litres of oil in it to put it on minimum, a litre of brake fluid to put that on minimum, put a couple of litres of water in it and rewired the rear light cluster to make the right lights come on when they should.

I also watched a woman and her daughter at a tesco garage trying to open the bonnet of her car to put some oil in, the mum kept saying there is a clip under the bonnet that opens it somewhere, after I had finished my fill up and paid I asked if she wanted me to open it for her, she said yes so I opened the drivers door to pop the bonnet... FAIL, :sad: no lever there, now looking like a prat I went to the passengers door, by this time she is going I need the bonnet open why are you going in the car? I pull the lever and... FAIL, :undecided: the lever is broke, got some pliers out my car and got it open, turns out it didn't even need any bloody oil! :angry:

My girlfriend asked me to look at her car last year as it was making a whining noise when she turned the wheel. I asked her if the power steering was working ok to which I was told 'It doesn't have power steering'

bottle of power steering fluid later and it was all fine  :rolleyes:
