Autobarn.
Stepped in there the other day for the $20 seatcover and floor mat special.
Cover up all the grass clippings in the truck.
Yeah, I know I should empty the catcher into the trailer, but the wind does blow sometimes.
Anyway, got the seatcovers and wandered down to the parts counter.
Might as well order the rocker cover caskets while I'm here. Save some oil.
Bloke behind the counter knew what I was talking about. Said he used to be a mechanic.
Knew all about the hour and a half to pull everything down to get to the rocker covers.
Then the same time to put it back together again.
Order was done. Full kit, 2 gaskets plus 6 plug rings for a Triton 3l v6 6G72 motor.
2 days later I got the call they had arrived.
What a waste of time and effort.
They only had 1 side and for a 6G74 motor.
"Don't know what happened. Must have been the girl putting the order thru. I'll put it thru again."
"forget it." was the reply.
Drove 2 blocks down Redland Bay Rd. 10 minutes in Burson's and walked out with the full kit.
Just have to find the half day to do the job now.
Autobarn now added to supercrap as places to avoid.
