Some bugger has nicked the flaming dipstick from my car. WTF? Of all the parts to steal, why the frelling dipstick?
The car was serviced just over a month ago and it was there then.
The only reason we know it's missing is that dad needed it to get to Brisbane, got to Mudgeereeba and had to pull over because the car was losing power. The oil light was on, so he went to check it and the dipstick was gone. So he put oil in, hoping it wasn't too much, burnt himself on the engine and came home to help mum and I with the new galah cages. He's checked the local wreckers and car supply stores and the don't have one for my model and year of car. So mum's off phoning all the wreckers in the larger area trying to find one. I should probably get her to call the Ultratune in Tweed. they did the service so they could comfirm whether it had one when they serviced it and whether someone may have left it out when finishing up.
EDIT: Looks like we'll beable to pick one up at Burleigh heads wreckers... we're heading there now to get it.
Edit 2: Got the new dipstick, plus some other junk we didn't need from office works. oi.
car,
argh,
problems
