Busted Speedometer.

We drove yesterday morning to Banawe, a place in QC where suppliers of car accessories and auto parts abound. The van’s speedometer has been malfunctioning since the other week. It was just yesterday the mechanic had a time to drop by and discern what’s wrong. It turns out that the bearing and rubber (or whatever that is called) that makes it function has worn off. He says that the wear and tear of such part is expected to last not that long. Although the broken part won’t affect the engine and the van will run smoothly, it is recommended that it’d be replaced soon to eradicate the inconvenience of driving with a busted speedometer. Also, it’s for safety precautions. You wouldn’t know how fast you’ve been running without the meter, right?

And so, we looked for that part in Banawe yesterday but after checking out a number of open stores, we didn’t have one. That certain part’s out of stock. We could have readily bought one from other bigger stores but alas, it was a Sunday and most auto parts shops as well as the major distributor of that stuff were closed to business. So we decided to just drop by again next Saturday.

While checking out the auto parts shop, I was so overwhelmed how varied and how plenty of auto parts that there are. From the biggest to the smallest and even to the colorful and interesting parts like projector headlights, I was asking hubby to name them and what they are for. At first he gladly answered my queries but later he got tired and told me to just check out CarID.com’s site if I’m really interested to know. He says, it’s an online shop of auto accessories and parts and it has the most comprehensive galleries across all car makes and brand. I’m browsing the site now and he’s right. I also checked that they have the part we’re looking for. If only they are shipping internationally then our problem could have been solved.
