So that was an expensive lesson 🙁
Took the car to Nissan today, and I will need a new tank, a new sump and a puncture repair.
Guess I’m picking up the bill for this one, $2500-$3000 and that will be trade price on parts and labour as she felt sorry for me seeing as the car is so new 🙁
Maybe I should have invested in some bash plates as armour for the underside of the car, that would have only cost me $500-$1000. If you have a 4wd and plan on going bush, money well spent I say!!
Oh well, expensive lesson that I don’t plan on repeating anytime soon!
You can see here on the map the section that we travelled down hill. Only a short track of about 1km, but we descended about 700m! You can see by the closeness of the contours that it was very steep… next time I think I might stick to the marked tracks – LOL!
PS – I’m sure I posted this blog before, but for some reason it dissapeared!!!
PPS – Picked up the car on Wednesday. Cost me $2500 🙁
PPPS – Nissan replaced the sump tank, Fuel tank, a Tyre and Radiator hose that had a pin prick, so on my first adventure with the new car I managed to lose Air, Water, Oil and Fuel!!!! The 4 critical things to make a car go!!!
