Hello every peeps,
Haven't used the old girl in anger (car not wife) for a while (at most one trip out a week - again, car not wife) as can be attested by lack of attendance of Cotwolds Rally (sob) and Scotland (much sob [
]) this year. Just had a service at Autostrasse and MOT done - which it passed with flying colours - however went to take a joy ride to Sainsburys tonight and got a most unusual and unwelcome response upon trying to turn the engine over. Every light on the dashboard started flashing, the windows kept dropping (as though door was being opened), radio came on and off, and all exterior lights kept flashing on and off. "Strange" thought Carl, as he donned flares and had 70's flashbacks, "what could this mean"? Amidst all this I got a sharp 'rapping' sound (and I don't mean like fiddy) from the back end like the starter motor has indigestion. Can anyone shed light? Has my battery died?
