So I was heading out to meet my client, suddenly the car had a power surge. It's not entirely killing the engine, it just doesn't move as it would usually. No matter how I fiddle with the accelerator, the car seems went to limp mode, driving very slowly and jerking forward. I feels like going to vomit. Left me no choice but to take a huge detour, instead of meeting client, went and meet my mechanics.
After some troubleshooting, found out these spark plug leads are acting up. My mechanic put in a set of leads and went for a test drive, and confirm it was the culprit. The leads itself set me back RM150, that's like 35 dollars. Just before I left the premises, saw oil dropped on the floor. I thought it was from other car and after conducting some serious inspection, apparently it's my own car. The drive shaft bearing cover is broken 🥴
Since they're the Renault specialist, they don't sell knock-off or replacement branding parts. The part they offering was RM320 exclude labor charges. And I drove to my usual tire shop and ask them to had the cover replace. And whilst they're doing that, found the engine mounting was broken, so they did both all together. And the damage was, RM165 for both items inclusive of labour charges 😂 Sorry Renault, I just can't afford to spend that much. I bought the car for 500 only.
On an unrelated note, I got this from a friend which I think I need to share.
Read the service docket description 😂

I never visit a Renault or whatever brand I drive. They are way too expensive not only the parts and their knowledge is not better (I wish it was).
I check my car, see what is wrong, search for the problem, ask around (problemcar.nl for example and you 😁) and I tell them exactly what to do.
There was a guy who told me it was a lot of work to figure out why my windscreen wipers kept working. I needed to leave my car behind and it would take at least 6 weeks (no way).
I told the idiot to do some simple test which would only take 5 minutes plus replace the fuse, next nearly all my other fuses burned out.
I knew he ordered the wrong fuse still put it in my car.
I told him to put back the old one and... Everything worked fine.
I am not going to pay a lazy ass who thinks I am a stupid woman who can be easily fooled and is willing to pay whatever is asked. There are plenty of places to go and if you know what's wrong it saves a lot of time.
We can start a "trouble car" here 🤔
The owner of the chicken has to pay for the damage. They must have had a good laugh.
Great you went to a cheaper place.

Yeah. I usually do my own stuff before I send them to the mech. Apparently, the sparkplug lead issue is a common thing for my version. Also checked online the part price is as Renault described, no point to go all over the place just to search for a knock off. !tip !shop

I never had a chicken inside the car engine but a few times, I got some kitten. Once we didn't notice them but they actually survive for round 10 km drive without any injury before we noticed them.

Cat is worst. There's one time my boss car had a kitten crawled into the fender and start shitting and pissing inside since it couldn't get out. The car stink for months. And on another occasion a cat died inside without anyone knowing until the corpse start to rot in it. Workshop said, it happen once, it will happen again, matter of when. My boss quickly sell his car 😂 !shop !tip

Lol!
Apart from this one, I read a similiar incident some time ago, not sure if it was also a chicken, but the concern/cause/correction was something along the same lines.
The best part was at the end, the technician added a line something like... "Advised customer not to eat the chicken."
