flat tyre
-
so, my ute got serviced last week. We noticed it had a flat, but it was a slow leak, so I kept pumping it up and asked Toyota to fix it. They took it off, said it was fine and put it back on. This morning it is totally flat. I've spent the last hour with the service book and searching online. The ute is parked in mud. The tyre is underneath. It won't come off without a tool on the jack ( which I need in any case ). The jack is, according to the manual, under the back seat. No part of the manual tells me how to lift the back seat. I've been trying to lift it for a good 30 min and can't work it out. Oh, and I wrote an abusive email to Motors, then realised they are Holden, it's Co-op I am mad at.

Get a good grip and pull the seat part forwards.

On our old toyota 4runner there was a cloth strap I could pull to lift the seat.

Well, marriage was not it. Playing guitar was not it. Having kids was, tho. And, I believe the chook shed at my old property was the first one I built, still standing.

Turns out a different part of the manual explains how to feel around in the middle and find a string, and pull it. THEN I needed to build a pole out of the parts, poke it through a hole in the car, find a slot, and lower the spare. It was plain ludicrous.

Yeah, that's basically what it was. I just had to find it. It was about as intuitive as the mechanism to 'lower' the spare tyre and unhook it.

I guess the learning point is not to park a slow leak in the mud. ;P

Sadly, that's my only option. I wrote back to the concrete guy saying I accepted the quote, and got no response.

But did you get it right THIS time? I bless my x's black little heart. :laugh: If she hadn't married me and then decided to cash out, I would not have been in the right place and time to meet my wife. God uses pain to build us and put us in the right frame of mind for what He wants us to do.

I was unable to find the power ON button on my new Samsung monitor, and the manual wasn't helpful. Then I realized it was a touch switch (where I supposed the power ON LED be)... :-O I'm getting old. :)
