Prof Raveee - easy to get A

Dr Haider - Strict, high expectation ( means hard to give A ) but yet his thesis topics still popular among students

Car Repair

Sent my car to the workshop last week. The mechanic do some inspection on my car. First, he test the plug cable; one of them broken. He gave it to me for free. hihi. Then, he test drive my car. The problem still occur I guess, since I didn't ride the car with him. He took out the plug, examine them and show them to me. I saw all the plugs very dirty and blacky, need to change new one lor. So he change all ( 3 plugs only) and it cost me RM20.

He test drive my car. I'm not sure but he did something on the engine. Maybe unsatisfied with the engine sound, he open the distributor. There, the problem that my old mechanic told me before. My old mechanic told me that I have to change the distributor that will cost me RM150. So I'm prepare for it!!

Suddenly he brought something in a plastic and replace it with something in the distributor. I read the label on the plastic. "Fuel Saver" God, what is that? Deadly I don't want to know. But, it must something in the distributor that were broken and can be replaced. Thanks to the old mechanic that lie to me and told me the distributor can't be repaired!!

Now, I save my RM125 and I use that money to buy a new steering.


He test drive my car again. The problem was settled. Then I ask him to adjust the clutch. He did and he claims RM15 for labor cost for all the services.

Now it was very hard to change the gear. Maybe that was because one of my finger injured during my handball practice. Thanks to the coach for the night-cannot-see-the-ball practice.

Tomorrow I need to see the handsome mechanic again to change the tires. Will ask him to re-adjust the clutch again back to the normal one.
