Rush to Sovereign Hill... Its actually one of my favourite tourist traps
Good time was had by all, watching the trooper firing his carbine, and waving ¨his sabre about. Ride around the diggings on the Horse drawn conveyance.
While I was doing my semi regular check the fluids and inflation on the ¨Holden
Captiva I found a new problem, takes its total out to 3 and its ¨turning into a
pain the patooty(arsch). Its a relatively old beast, 2009 I ¨think it is off the top of my head, might be 11, I forget. But about 6 months ¨after I got it, it decided that the climate control wouldn't any more... I ¨was going to get that checked out, took it in for a service wondering what ¨they might be able to tell me about it. And they decided it needs a new ¨timing chain. And the new one is a reasonably good crack in the coolant ¨bottle so she's spraying coolant when it gets up to pressure.
I have in mind to cut my losses and get rid of this thing.. The timing chain ¨is hiddeously expensive, it runs like a powerless dog the way it is with that ¨particular problem. Probably a testiment to onboard electronics that it runs ¨at all.
The climate control is still a complete unknown.. It might just need ¨regassing, but then where'd all the gas go, another leak? I pulled all the ¨fueses trying to track this one down, they're all fine. When cold the A/C ¨does seem to produce cold air, but as soon as it warms up it only blows hot ¨air at you.
The cooling system bottle is probably the least of the problems. It's going ¨to
have been this way for some time, but I only just found the source. My ¨problem
is this thing seems to be developing a new fault every few months. ¨Whats next?
