A: I've brought my car in for repair.
B: OK, leave it here, and we'll take care of it. What's the trouble?
A: There are various things. Some are serious, some not so serious. The gear box is really bad. It won't go into top gear.
B: Yes, that does sound serious.
A: The steering wheel is stiff. And the radio aerial doesn't work.
B: You may need a new aerial. They wear out quickly.
A: But it's only three years old.
B: You can't get spare parts. So if one part wears out, you have to have a new aerial.
A: I see. And would you repair the spare wheel? The air comes out.
