sounds like my car.... here's my story.
about 4 months ago my car seamed to be going through the water. had to keep topping it up about 3 times a week. the previous few months i replaced the radiator, thermostat, had it compression tested and all was ok.
Until one night i was driving on the highway and then i heard a noise like driving over debry. i thought it was nothing so i kept driving. though i had better look down at the dash and i see my cars temperature is rising and my charge light is on.... oh no what happened.
The next day i see my water pump blew out.
2 months later i finally got a replacement engine as the previous one was DEAD to say the least.
Next came paint job. they first told me. bring it in on monday you'll have it by friday. friday came, you'll have it by wednesday at the latest. wednesday they told me friday i'll have it. i stressed i need the car for the weekend because i'll be without a car. friday came and they said, monday tuesday or wednesday.. finally got it on the wednesday 2 1/2 weeks after first putting it in.
Then, the day after i got the car back from the panel beaters the exhaust manifold gasket gets a hole in it. The stupid mechanic wasn't going to fix it under warrenty, but he soon changed his mind.. what an asshole.
So i'll have my car running 100% again this thursday..
