Default What a week (Still love my car to death)

Hi guys

For the past week i had problems with my car missing. So i did all the normal things, replaced the leads and then the plugs and it fixed the issue for a day or so then the miss returned.

By this time my limited knowledge was exhausted so i took it to the dealership where i purchased the car and got them to check for problems below is what they found.

Needs new coil pack
Needs new steering rack
Needs 2 new pullys
needs new inlet manafold gasket
needs new rear servo gasket
Needs Service ( I new that )
Need the auto serviced

All up $2000

When i was told the price i almost fell off my chair. Thank god the the warranty i took out when i brought the car covered all bar $250 of the repairs.

I'am glad i didn't tell the sales person to shove the warranty up his but when i brought it. Good news is cars drives like new now, really happy with it
