still waiting
just getting my frustrations out, but im guessing others have gone through it. gave my new kombi to a bloke to put in a second hand box cos 3 weeks
after i bought it the main bearing went and it screamed its head off in fourth gear at 100k's he said he would do it that weekend, i said to him take
2 weeks cos im going away. thinking im being a nice guy, now its been 3 weeks and he promised me it would be done last night, i speak to him he says
he's been busy but the box is sitting next to it, so promises me ill have it tonight cos i need it as im going away tomorrow in the kombi. still no
word from him, i hate this crap. so once again sorry just wanted to get my frustrations out being a new kombi owner im pretty dissapointed that my
baby isnt with me, sorry for the long rant.

Never say to a mechanic "no hurry I'll be away for a week or so" because the job mostly hets left as a low priority until the last minute. Gees
he'll be back tomorrow!
