Sorry folks for long break
the story continues...
I was too frustrated and it almost seemed that i commited a blunder, never had dreamt tht sourcing a fan would be such a painful task...
Asked those guys to get the fan back and called Nagaraj(Bangalor) who had told he can source the entire set(fan+motor) thought this was better then going for orginal which was 8+k..nowcomes the twist i asked Nagarj to go ahead and he confirmed that its "Valeo" itself (this is the original fan), he told he will get back with the exact price and will try to send it that evening itself...
Now wait starts, it seemed like the wheels of the time has got punctured after an hour i called him and he assured he will send it to day evening but no confirmation on the price, i got busy with the work and at around 9pm tried calling to make sure if he has sent it but nope he is not picking, after couple of tries i gave up and thought of contacting him next day..
next morning when i called he dint pick the call again, tired many times to get no response. i had thought that he might have sent in by some bus and i will have to go to their office to collect it. around 1ish i was able to reach him and he said that the cost was about 7+k so he dint send it..
now wait a minute, he could have informed me that!!!! during this episode have noticed that all the mechs whom i delt with failed me in some way..
frustration had touched the sky and i was cursing myself
but their is a say dont loose patience and for somer reason felt like i had it in abundance...
i decided to take the fan to a lathe shop and see if they can fix it, surprisingly the first shop i went to told me that its possible and kept the fan. since itwas a weekend he told he will give it on Monday...here goes my couple of days but i was pretty relaxed now ..
COme next week i give the owner of the shop a call to ensure everything is in place, he says no power so there is a delay of a day ok, the next day when i call he says the guy who was supposed to do this job is on leave...nasked him if he is sure that he can do this job and there comes out his apprehensions blah blah ... i said never mind i will pick the fan in a while...
Now it was almost certain that i have to go for a entire setup frm Fiat which would cost me 8+ k but all of a sudden i could see a small flash of light, of-course in my mind.. i remembered Jayant(JVH) mentioning that if needed i can put some butter to Venkatesh and try to convince him to send the fan..
So here i go, call Venkatesh and i was almost on my knees...again on phone
and the confident sounding Venki assured me that he will do something...
Venki was always apprehensive about gtting this job done by someone who might not be good to handle such jobs and for some extent he was right too. but here i had no choice..
Kept on calling him till he tld he will be sending it that night, around 10 i get a call from him asking about where i can pick it, he was giving it to the Durgambha bus driver who will be reaching Bangalore around 5ish.
Next morning get a call from the driver that he is 10mins away from the pick up point we had decided the previous night...i peep outside and for my luck no rain..
hop on the bike and shot off, as i reached he just handed out and gave a big smile and asked if its ok... with half woken up brains which was taken over by excitement i could just smile back..
Came back home and tried to fix the fan on the motor and it got in perfectly! bingo!
