Default Lucky neighbour...

I normally smoke in the back garden and tonight decided to pop out the front for a quick one.

while enjoying my cancer I noticed my neighbour fillinger her 2010 pugeot with oil.

I asked if everything was ok and she replied " I don't have a clue what I'm doing"

Amazingly not only was she filling the right hole but she stopped at the max on the dipstick.

She didn't even check - She just saw a light flash on her screen saying check oil and was just pouring it in

Lucky girl...

Shes about 55 BTW and no shes not fit.

What oil was it?

You'd be surprised what some of these women know about cars, some can even re-fill the washer bottle.

Which is why it is so ironic when ads say "one lady owner". Is that supposed to make the car more appealing or something?

It's not just women that can be thick as f..........

At work I got called over by my manager to help a woman out with anti-freeze. Not whether there was any difference between the brands, but she needed to know where to put it, and he had no idea. When I said to him (not her as I accepted she knew the grand sum of f*** all) it goes in the expansion tank, he had no idea what I was talking about. : I can't even drive, yet I know more than him.

Too many morons driving about without the faintest idea about the very basics of car maintenance.

Reminds me of a palnk my Mum had living next to her.

Whilst I arrived at my Mums He told me his oil light had come on. So I went over to his car and check it. It was pretty much dry.

I told him the following. "Mate, you need to feel it up so it is on the level of the dipstick just keep poring and check regular until it hits the dipstick level ".

He answers - "OK, will pop out at lunch and get some".

He goes out at lunch and does not return. Reason was the tit has filled the engine up with around 10 litres of oil so it was at the top of the dipstick itself!!!!

If you have a modern car which is under warranty like mine, I don't think you need to know how to put oil in it. Besides, I have a husband for that, and if I get a flat tyre, I can ring the RAC. Why do these things yourself when you have "people" to do it for you?

We have Merc Sprinters at work and often they throw up a warning light and an accompanying message, something like " oil level too high, remove some oil."
One doofus driver somehow read this as "please put more oil in the engine" and did so.

You pay peanuts, etc.

It does not make a weany bit if difference if you do 5 miles or 5,000 miles, if its low on oil it will do damage and the light is not a low oil indicator
You sound like the woman i saw at the tyre center the other week, she took her car in for the mot and it failed on 3 tyres with the core exposed All they could get out of her was "well it was fine for the last mot" EPIC

7 years maintenance free!! she took it that she didnt have to do ANYTHING apart from put petrol in and tax it for 7 years! OMG! her face was a picture when I explained it to her lol..
