Morning all,
Yesterday I had the 4x4 serviced. Three mechanics visited at home and carried out a major service. Some corroded and cracked pipes in the engine were found and replaced: AC and thermostat. Oil, air and fuel filters replaced.
Another problem was found: a hissing noise! from the exhaust when the engine is turned off.
On Tuesday the 4x4 is going to a workshop in the Industrial area of Nairobi, where the exhaust will be removed, inspected and repaired with welding etc,. The estimated cost is about £28 (hopefully).
The service yesterday was £30 Labour, parts was £50, in addition Shell oil 5W30 7L £60, Coolant ready mixed about £15.
A/C regassed £16:67
Servicing looks cheaper than in the UK? Parts are just as expensive. The price of labour is negotiable.
Sorry nothing more mundane to report.
We are planning on going on a long drive into the bush and I want the car to be safe and okay for driving on and off road.
How is everyone?
