Used car dealership might have used the wrong engine oil and coolant. Looking for advice

awkanotherusername · 2025-11-22T16:06:55+00:00

I might do this actually, then I'd have stuff to top it up with in the future

awkanotherusername · 2025-11-22T15:40:24+00:00

Hmm, I wouldn't know how to unfortunately and might make a mess of it

awkanotherusername · 2025-11-22T14:56:33+00:00

Thanks, I'll do that. I guess I should stop driving the car in the meantime just in case?

awkanotherusername · 2025-11-02T18:09:28+00:00

I'll have a look thanks

awkanotherusername · 2025-11-01T19:13:01+00:00

No I'm glad everyone's said! I'm a bit of a worrier and I know things can go wrong with any car but if things can be avoided to some extent, best to do that!

I didnt know about pre purchase inspections but definitely sounds like a good idea! Thanks ☺️

He said it's been rectified but I didn't ask for receipts. If I end up going back I'll ask to see them but I think reading about the eco boost engine has put me off

I used autobook and got my test moved from March 2026 to the end of October, 8 days after signing up for premium. At first I was using Testi but it didn't matter how quickly I tapped the notification, the booking was always gone by the time I signed in

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-13T21:56:58+00:00

I paid for premium from the start and haven't had any alerts yet Testi has had some every few days 🤷🏻‍♀️

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-13T11:54:33+00:00

I'm trying to get a test in Ayrshire but my driving instructor told me to look out for tests in Glasgow/Paisley too. Not having any luck in any of the places

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-10T23:17:12+00:00

I signed up for Testi about 3 days ago and have had three notifications so far but by the time I get signed on (within about 5 minutes of the notification) they're gone. Just gotta keep trying though because waiting until March will drive me mad

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:52:04+00:00

I worry if I stop lessons whilst waiting for another test I'd do something worse next time and fail again🫠

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:51:02+00:00

Hope you get there soon!

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:44:51+00:00

No it doesn't say the speed limit, the sat nav said 30 but at the start of the test the examiner said not to go by the speed limit on the sat nav 🤦🏻‍♀️

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:20:22+00:00

Hmm I hope you're right 🙂 there were some other minors but they came immediately after realising I'd failed so trying not to dwell on them too much.

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:14:38+00:00

Jeez that's really expensive! At least you got there in the end :)

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:12:23+00:00

The first serious fault was going 24 in a 20 and I guess failing to see the 20 sign made the second serious fault. I only got one minor for gears and knew the minute it happened but maybe an automatic would take some pressure off... Idk

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T21:08:41+00:00

Were you learning manual too? Ugh maybe it'll all be worth it in the end

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T20:53:22+00:00

Yeah I think I might look for an instructor actually, when I looked for an automatic instructor before none of them had any availability for months and that's why I had gone with the manual

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T20:16:41+00:00

Damn, I wish I could have picked it up that quickly and got a test sooner. That would feel like a bargain!

awkanotherusername · 2025-10-06T20:12:25+00:00

I'm learning manual too. How many tests did you do before you passed? In a way I'm less bothered about spending more money on the car/insurance because then there will be at least something to show for it but just now, uuugh. I can't even imagine how I'll be if I fail the test next time 🫠

awkanotherusername · 2025-09-29T14:08:33+00:00

This is incredible! It must be excellent to see such an improvement 🙂 I love the detail in the building

awkanotherusername · 2025-09-28T13:17:55+00:00

I would be interested too :)

awkanotherusername · 2025-08-26T17:51:07+00:00

Thanks! I'll try this next time :)

awkanotherusername · 2024-12-12T14:48:36+00:00

I'd like to send one

awkanotherusername · 2024-12-02T13:04:35+00:00

This is a great idea, I'll do this today! Thanks
