A couple of weeks ago the ‘old lady’ broke down again. Ironically its at the same place as before in Simpang Pulai. It was really a hot day, luckily there are some eateries there that my family and I can cool down a bit. Later, I opened the air intake to the carburetor and put in some gas before trying to start it. It didn’t. I know the air is in, the fuel is in so I guessed somehow the spark was missing. I checked the spark plug but all was in order.

So, I had the car towed to my usual workshop, Nie Auto in Ipoh. Luckily its for free because of my insurance auto assist coverage… it usually will cost a good RM100 out of your wallet! (God bless them insurance guys for once). To cut things short, the next day I came in and asked them what wrong. The cable that supply power to the spark plug had simply come off, thats all.  Just my luck… a loose cable! Un (freakin’) believeable! In a way I was also glad, coz I don’t have to fork out cash for some more repair works on the car.
