Lunchmoney
The Torque Meister
Gah!
Running late, rush out of the house.
Rush back into the house to get lunch and car keys.
Hit button for locking on car. Nothing.
Try again. Nothing.
Uh oh.....
I can see the alarm light is out so I manually unlock the car and, with a certain trepidation, put the key in the ignition and turn.
Nothing.
At all.
No dash lights, courtesy light, anything. Let alone a running engine.
Balls.
First thing, get a neighbour to bring their car over and hook up jump leads. Still nothing going on.
Leave it for a few minutes and check again and we have dash lights. Still nothing else, just a ticking coming from the ignition. A relay, maybe?
Bigger balls.
Get a lift to work and call my garage.
It's going in for service and MOT next week, but if I bring it (somehow) can they look at this problem? Sure.
Just need to get it to the garage, which is 7 miles from home....
First world problems...
