The Astra looks a bit sad today. Found a rather large puddle of coolant on the floor this morning. Still had a bottle of red so filled her back up and got down to the local Holden guys. They were kind enough to take the car in and have a look. 3 hoses cracked. I asked why it wouldn't have been spotted when the car was in about 2 months ago for the thermostat recall and if the work done during the recall has anything to do with these 3 cracked hoses. In the back of my mind i was worried about the price of those 3 hoses and i had this clear vision of me being raped, without any lube, by the stealers. I put on my cutest possible face, squeezed my butt-cheeks as tight as i could and asked those dreadful 2 words ; how much? he proceeded that they would have renewed those during the recall work if they were leaking but they weren't . So a very amicable price of 130 dollars all inclusive to renew all coolant hoses has been agreed on. Does my arse hurt, a little bit because thats the equivalent to 3 cases plus a six-pack of beer. Am i happy with that price? you bet i am because a complete hose set will normally set you back much more.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1df4f258ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a6420aab49.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f7ef40317.jpg
