Maybe get it towed to one of the servos the taxis use around Alexandria, there are a few. Not too far from Bondi and they will understand what makes an old Falcon go. (or not go).

Better if you can get it towed further out west, you will pay less for the repairs in the burbs.

Try a taxi depot, they will be the quickest and possibly the cheapest if you talk cash and look scruffy enough.
