So, apparently it was some cable that had broken and caused the EML light to come on. I got really good service, got my car back, and it runs great. The anti-theft thing on my radio thinks I'm a bad-guy, though, and I guessed at the magic code and now have to wait until the radio has been on a full hour (consecutively, I'm thinking, since I just tried it yet again and am SURE it had been on for a total of an hour) before I can try the code a third time.
I'm pretty sure they said it was the stability cable, but I told my car-loving friends, some of whom have re-built engines and they looked at me like I was nuts and made a reference to my warp drive. Whatever that is.
But I have car. Tomorrow I will have tires. Yeah - they sold it to me with two bald tires, and I mean bald. I didn't think to check since... who would sell a car with bald tires?!? Some jackasses, that's who. But at least there is car.
Want me to send my husband to yell at the dealership? He'd love to.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the heck a warp cable whoosawhatsy is. Sounds like something for combination knitting/weaving.
Glad your car's working again!
Can I get a stability cable for mySELF? I'm glad you have a car, whatever it took.
ReplyDeleteYeah, car is way better than carpool. WAY. BETTER.
ReplyDeleteSo... Fancy BMWs require Fancy BMW tires... For the price of two tires, I could've replaced all four of the ones on the Civic, AND gotten the oil changed. Ouch.
