I am fine today.
The first attempt to drive the car to Melaka on 24 August 2008 ended up in total damage of its engine due to overheating.
The whole story was described in detail on the following blog entries:
Day +782 : It happened again :-) (1)
Day +783 : It happened again :-( (2)
Day +784 : It happened again :-( (3)
Day +785 : It happened again :-( (4)
Day +786 : It happened again :-( (5)
Day +787 : It happened again :-( (6)
Day +806 : The bill = RM4299
The incident led to a customer tribunal court case in which I sued the workshop, Twine Auto Services, which serviced the car just before it was driven to Melaka for negligence. But I lost the case.
The detail of the case was “documented” on the following blog entries:
Day +855 : Honey, I lost the case (1)
Day +856 : Honey, I lost the case (2)
As the new semester is going to begin and my niece, Nga Ming, who studies in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) needs to use the car, my nephew, Cheng Chiek, helped to drive the car to Melaka yesterday afternoon.
They reached Melaka safely and smoothly. Heng Chiek told me later that the temperature meter of the car rarely exceeds a quarter of full reading throughout the journey. This means that the cooling system of the car is now working perfectly.
This also implies that Twine Auto Services didn’t do a proper job in examining the car earlier and should bear certain responsibility over the overheat incident. It was a pity that the judge held a different opinion.
See you next post :-)
