Finally got in but there appears to be a total electric breakdown.
I remember when I had my first car, a Triumph Herald. The bonnet and wings hinged at the front and you could sit on the wheel to work on the engine. All you needed was a few spanners, feeler gauges and a colourtune and you could do pretty much everything.
- AA guy got me into the car.
- Put on a 12V supply and the ignition started but the car wouldn't start at all.
- I tried to charge the car from my own battery charger. It wouldn't even respond.
- When the 12V booster was taken off the car, it just went dead again.
- Plugged the mains charger into the car to charger the hybrid battery, that isn't taking a charge either.
- Now getting it collected on by a recovery vehicle to take down to the dealership and it will sit there till it is due to be looked at (7th May).
How did he get you into the car in the end? Was it a hidden key hole?
Is it the 12 volt that's failed or the car?
