Fix my Jeep

Where to start with this old '96 Jeep of mine. Must have been 5 years now since we last used it. (Pic is taken during the good old times, probably in '98! From left: Ajim 4 now 15, Emi & Liyana)

A lot of mishaps with this Jeep, ever since we first bought it. A week after taking it from the dealer, I took it to KL with my kids and maid. We had our first break down, at Karak, a brand new car, rosak tepi jalan, with kids in it... what a blow that was. We had it towed to KL and fixed a leaking clutch fluid tube, purgh.

The wear and tear is expensive for this Jeep. One by one the sensors failed on us! They must have been substandard, locally assembled lah kan. Then a major part rosak and not available locally. Tah macam mane, one workshop managed to fix it. But then other problems arise and we didn't use it for quite a white.

Then we bought a Wira hatchback and I got to use a company car. So we gave the Jeep a rest. Just too long.













It ended up at a garbage dump hauled there by MPK!

Aduh! It must have been there for months by the looks of the weeds at the front fenders. We had a call from a friend asking if we had fixed the Jeep coz it's no longer at the workshop. When we asked the workshop it seemed it got towed away as non-moving vehicle in the city compound at had been placed at the Pusat Pelupusan Sampah!! God! How could they....

Since then it has been in and out of a workshop in Beserah. Now it's back to a stand still under our porch.

I am going to have it fixed.
