Did you know it doesn’t matter how much you pay for a car, it can still go wrong?
Three weeks ago, we acquired our Chevrolet Orlando, and the price was expensive. Today, we discovered that a leak exists somewhere in the water system. If the radiator is at fault, the warranty does not cover the cost of repair. How do we ascertain it wasn’t present already? I am hoping that the pipe is cracked. We are going through the insurance regardless, so at the very least we will understand what is happening.
This is more than a sentence, and a bit of a rant, but the window wiper motor isn’t working either; at least that is covered.
I reckon we have gremlins and they need to stop tinkering about with our stuff.
PS I’m liking your post, not that you have car gremlins!

I don’t like my car gremlins either. Thanks for the like.

I wouldn’t mind so much, but it was expensive and shouldn’t have gone wrong so soon.

Wow, that’s really annoying – I’d be really upset. Is it a new car or a used car?

Used, but at 4000, expensive.

In 2004, Hubby and I bought 2 new Suzuki Altos. They were the same colour, but didn’t have consecutive number plates. Mine ran sweet as a nut, Hubby’s broke down all the time, including when we were away and we had to come home using a recovery service. The garage admitted there was a fault as per the on board computer, but it was intermittent so a bitch to find.
Less than a year old and exceedingly uncomfortable as a back passenger or on a long trip, we put both cars in P/X against my Peugeot 206 in 2005. I had that for 10 years and loved it as it served me well.

Hopefully it is an easy fix. In the garage on Tuesday, so fingers and toes crossed.

An annoyance, but one day at a time is the best policy.
