2001 Kia Carnival GL review from Antigua
"Good ole Betsy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I need an oil pump. HELP!!!
Car worked when the gear box wasn't broken, the brakes didn't lock up, the transmission line didn't leak, the parking brake line wasn't broken, the washer was working, the electrical system (fuses) weren't blown, the belt wasn't shredded - you know, the one that makes the air con works. Betsy was a darling when she worked.
Right now I need an oil pump.
General comments?
Betsy is a one and only. Will not buy another.
