car's messed up... i'm no mechanic.. i tell ya.

bobins

well i f***ed up big time.. lol

my brakes in my car have been crappy latly.. and its cos my brake fluid's been runnin very low.. below minimum level.. and thas bad.. very bad..

so i called my dad ( he's workin away.. ) and asked him what to do..

he said there's a resevoir thingy wiv max and min levels by the engine.. and to top that up wiv brake fluid.. so yeah.. easy enough

so i got a liter of brake fluid.. and poured it into this resevoure thingy.. which i happened to think was for the brake fluid..

only when i try out hte car.. drive around for half an hour.. and notice my brakes are worse if anythin.. and definatly not betta..

so i went home.. and flicked through the maintenance manual.. only to find that i had topped up, not the brake fluid resevoure but the cooling system with hydraulic brake fluid.. which is now flowwing around the engine of my car..

F**K

so now at 3PM tomorrow i takin da car to kwick fit.. where a kwick fit fitter will drain the entire cooling system and flush it out..

cos im not touchin it again.. who knows what else i'll f**k up. lol

and they gonna do a free brake check.. cos the brake fluid's gotta be drainin away some how.. and thas not good

so u betta watch it raph.. this time when i come for u.. i wont have any brakes.. MUHAHAHAHHA

You know, you should probably have your blinker fluid checked right away while your at it.

Just remember when you think something could be wrong with a car, it starts to feel "different", even if it is the same (or very close to it).

In most cars, the radiator cooling system uses a "heat exchanger" with the engine cooling system. This "heat exchanger" keeps the two systems seperate, but allows heat to "exchange", if you will, between the engine and radiator systems.

The reason your brake fluid was low was because as you lose surface on your brake pads, the piston that pushes your pads in has to compensate for it.

BTW, I'm still laughing my arse off. You crazy brits, tee hee hee.
