My problematic Wira

Sigh... spent so much on the car this mth.

First there was that punctured tyre. Too big a puncture to just patch it up. So had to get a new one. All that just within a mth period from yet another earlier puncture. Am i lucky or wat!

Then there was this funny rattling noise from the exhaust. It turned out that the inner part of the exhaust looked rusty and would gave way anytime soon. Too much damage to just solder it so got a new one - just the normal Wira exhaust since the limited edition punya no more stock!

A week after that funny noise incident, there were more weird sounds this time from the engine. The culprit(s)... the water pump, fan motor and fan belt! Since the water pump is located near the timing belt, and i was reaching close to 60000km, i decided to change the timing belt sekali. Don't wanna take risks since i travel a lot.

Then yst my aircon wasn't working well. What i tot was an aircon hitch was in fact a temperature problem (the screw to the whatever-fan came off, so the water-cooling system thingy couldn't work properly). Which could be seriously dangerous! The temperature needle actually hit HOT (but not the max lar). And i still drove back from Senawang.. actually didn't realise the temperature - silly me! Cos was so adamant in thinking that it was the aircon gas problem! Thank God nothing happened!! If i had noticed the higher than normal temperature, most prob i'll panic and have to call a tow-truck. All the hassle!

So all in all i spent about slightly more than RM1k for the car just this two mths! There goes part of my year-end bonus! *sobs*
