not only did SUPERCHEAP sell me the wrong thermostat after giving them the cars correct details they now are telling me after a heated discussion down the blower to take it back to them and they will credit me the 20bux i paid for the dam thing and give me the correct one. so now i am expected to put my thermostat housing back on the car fill it with water and drive the 42k's it is to my nearest supercheap all because some slapper behind the counter made a mistake!not only have i been victimized but ive also been told the correct thermostat is now 65bux wt!thats 45bux more than thefirst mistake they sold me!this is a 19933cylinder 800cc daihatsu mira wer talking about not a friggin rolls royce!

Staff in supercheap arn't employed because they are smart, knowledgeable, or even know what end of the car has a towbar on.

Don't get upset. This is the motoring equivalent of being rickrolled.

I take it you decided to do this task at the weekend when some of the better suppliers are not open then. And why call her a slapper! You make a pass at her and she said no! You never made a mistake in ya life! Till you have walked a mile in there shoes I wouldnt comment .And I would be interested in her side of the story. I reckon you would be one of those obnoxious people who gives as little info as possable and looks down ya nose at people who work in those places. You know what they always say, check before you leave the shop. Sure you may not have started the job yet but that can be the risk you take. Maybe she didnt like your attitude and gave you the wrong one in the first place, no skin off her nose and prob laughin for rest of day.

I would say the catalogue is wrong. I vividly recall when I worked at Supercheap having the same issue with the same era Daihatsu. The staff can only go by the information provided - I had to show the customer at the time the listing in the Tridon catalogue along with the listing on the computer, which turned out to be wrong.

If you think thats a pain, wait until you need a new cylinder head for it when the one you've got goes soft and warps. The lesson here is that you should have gone straight to a Toyota (Daihatsu) agentfor a part for any of those old oddball Jap tin cans, they've got computers and/or microfilms that recognise VIN codes and tell you what fits what and exactly when spec changes occured etc, whereas the likes of sca umm haven't. Chances are it would probably be cheaper anyway.
