I'm jinxed!!!
First my car breaks down in the middle of peak hour traffic... in the middle of the road!! Managed to push it to the side of the road once everyone veered around me (really nice of them to offer assistance). Waited over an hour before my sister could come tow me to a safer location to leave my car.
A week later, the ex decides he has time to look at it. After calling every wreckers in the area, he managed to finally locate the part in Melbourne. $170 later for a new coil, the car still won't start.
Another week later, he decides he has time to look at it again. This time it was some weird looking plate thing that plugs onto the distributor (has circuits and stuff in it). Again, no wrecker has one and again, has to come from Melbourne. $350 almost... turned out they supplier didn't have the one for my model car *sigh*
More chasing around, we finally managed to find a second hand distributor, again has to come from Melbourne
Due to arrive today, so I borrowed said ex's car this morning. Took the kids to school.. freedom of driving again. Go to start his car... won't start.
TWO hours later
being 31degrees and all, help finally arrived and his car started.
So now, almost four weeks later, I'm still without my car, and his I don't even know if it will start again.
Anyone want to buy a car?
