Stupid = ME!!!
yep I can admit it, I am... I have had the funniest couple of days with my car and an embarrassing confession to my brother in law - a car man!
see my car was misbehaving, it was taking too long to change into gears
and with its last service the report came back saying it was in need of a transmission service, I just automatically thought it was that
so... after a bit of convincing I asked my BIL to come round and check it out for me and change the tranny fluid
I'm all happy now after 3 days of stressing, jump in it to go down the shop and I see something that makes me shake my head and wanna die from embarrassment!
I flick a little switch and my baby is driving beautifully again
it was in 'power' and not 'economy' so it was supposed to take longer to change gears!!!!
massive slap on the forehead and a 'doh'
kids looking at me like I a right loony as I start crackin up laughing. I get home and ring my BIL to let him know its ok I am just an idiot
after he finally stopped laughing he says he's still gonna come round and have a look at it anyways
cool, all sounds good till I could NOT find the dipstick to check the fluid level
yeah serious, it was just not there! I was actually sitting on the motor looking down in every single little nook n cranny and I could not find the silly thing
convinced someone musta stole it I rang my BIL, who yes you guessed it laughed at me again!
he gets me out there with my camera!!! ok stop laughing now!
I take photos of all over the motor and under the car and in places I didn't even knew existed on a car and email em all to him
he hunts, searches, looks and NOPE he cant find it either
smart a** says - typical Ford, they must forgot to put one on it!
so.... we hit google! Only to find out we just waisted the last 3 hours of searching cause the car DOESN'T actually have one!!!!
see I told you I am stupid....
