I ducking hate my life I swear to god
driven it for all of an hour. Had it parked went 3 minutes up at the at 2k rpm and it passes out steam. Fuck cars
i seem to remember having a conversation with you about getting a decent workshop to check it over first and you replying with that being a waste of time. when i bought my car, not only did i get a dealship to check it over first (they'll know of ANY little niggles to find as they can make money off me fixing them, or so they think) and i did a full service on it even though it was claimed (and in the logbooks) to be up to date. oil, filter, fuel, coolant, brakes, gearbox, both diffs, plugs, bottle of injector cleaner, manifold cleaner (seafoam), the works.
this isn't coincidence. take it to a workshop, and get it checked before something lets go & f**ks ten other parts with it when it does and get a full service done.
in fact, i'm going to be in sydney tonight and can come check it out for you. a simple coolant flush & checking the thermostat isn't stuck is probably all you need.
