More of a metal skewer driven in under the troubled peg and lever it around until it's loose enough to hack about with the fingers.

It's going to hurt either way, I'd rather do it for nothing than to fork out $600 for someone else's pleasure.

And when it comes to an infected tooth there's not really anything that can go wrong, is there?

There are slight risks LOL.

They always seem to strike at the worst times, like just after Christmas etc.

Get in the car after work yesterday to nothing, nicks, nada, nil. Battery dead.

Grab the multi meter from in the factory, 0V. Grab the booster pack and jump start it figuring I'll stop along the way home and get one, took the booster pack with me. Didn't think about it as I had no tools to do the swap over where ever I stopped so I went home.

Get up this morning, click. Nicks, nada, nil. Booster pack, fire it up, head to Sprint to buy a new one and think for a moment, I got the extended 5 year manufacturers warranty when I purchased the car 2 years ago.

Ring Skoda service at Jarvis they say to call road side assist who come out, new battery fitted under warranty and I didn't pay a cent.

Cheers, Skoda.

Yeah, but you still have to drive a Skoda....

The amount of times I say "F**kin Skoda..." when driving is proportionately more than any other make or model.

Apparently they've had some issues with their batteries lately.

At least one case has been reported.

For the Takata airbag?

Nothing in that from a Toyota view point, it's something like 53,000,000 world wide.

From a previous Holden and Ford man I'll never buy anything but a Mazda. In the words of one of my mechanics "they're like bullets".
Had my only Mazda ( a Mazda 6) for almost 70k (bought second hand) and the only things it's had done to it are stuff that you expect to wear out like tyres, brakes, battery, filters, etc. Unbelievable machine.

Mazda have a very good build quality compared to other cars in the price bracket, always have. Their interior doesn't feel as cheap as some of their competitors products and they're excellent for road noise.

It is funny that people in our age bracket will remember the "jap crap" mentality of years ago when Australian cars were highly rated as opposed to plastic rubbish from Japan. How things have changed.
