so exactly ONE week since i picked up my car, i went to park it in a westfields mall carpark and noticed that the front right wheel was flat! and after the nrma came we found a big bolt in it!.
Not happy jan....it's not the cars fault obviously but what shitty luck :P
so tomorrow ill go down tot he tyre place to get it patched.

theeen some IDIOT parked behind me in a place that isnt a real carspot and it took me soo long and so much effort to get out of.

THEN on the way home, i took off and went around a corner and whilst shifting from first into second CRRUNNCCHHHHH. which freaked me the hell out.
i was scared id done some damage but i spose everyone crunches a gear now and then, i dont know why, maybe i didnt have the clutch down fully or something or it didn't slot in properly.
its driving fine though so ill just have to be more careful in the future.

gah........quite an odd day.

if you can't find it, grind it :p

Why do I like this statement so much?

[Snotty]

howcome you needed nrma for a flat tyre :p

[oneightoo]

when you find it, grind it :p

fixed :p

[Mainframe_Module]

because i dont really know how to change one, and i dont have a car jack.

and thats what i pay for road assistance for (although the holden came with free road assistance, but i hadnt recieved my card for that yet so i just rang up nrma which i have until jan)

might as well get some use out of it :P

[oneightoo]

didnt your car come with a jack??

[btm]

didnt your car come with a jack??
surely all cars sold these days come standard with a jack??

[Mainframe_Module]

hmm.......maybe it did

all my yaris came with was the changing tools, i assumed the astra didnt come with one...hmmm
ill have to look

[poita]

isnt it illegal for them not to?

[CJB]

if you can't find it, grind it :p
Yuck Kurt, hahaha! So not tasteful :p


The Astra jack is found under the spare wheel... :)

You have to get the wheel out to get the jack out. I guess they figure you need the wheel out otherwise why do you need the jack, also, it's a smart storage space.

[Red AH SRI T]

every car comes with a jack, except maybe a BMW with their stupid run flats.

maybe you just never found the one in your old Yaris.
