Indonesian Car Troubles




My car will not start this morning, grrrr, it was just at the bengkel (service station) yesterday. Ho hum, Mrs has to take a taxi to work. The driver called a tow truck already.

Yikes, I panic, but he explains you get a free tow to the service centre in Indonesia, thank goodness, because in Australia to would cost you hundreds of dollars.

Actually, the driver also knows the problem ? Oh yeah ? Masuk Angin. Now I've heard of masuk angin before, literally it means air has entered, more specifically it refers to any manner of non-specific ailment, such as a cold or flu or generally unwell. But I have never heard of it in relation to a motor vehicle before, perhaps my car has 'gone native' also!

haha.
