Cheers for the sympathy guys (I think)
I dont know whats wrong, Ive only just got up and had breakfast as after alot of f*cking around I didnt get home till 0530.
On the A3 near the Wisley services the ABS warning light came on which I ignored.
I pulled up at the lights and the clocks were still showing 65mph and 3000 rpm ish and the ABS light so I killed the engine to see if it would fix this
Tried to start it again and it wouldnt, just got the click of death.
All the electrics still work, the windows go up and down at the speed they should.
It now displays the engine warning light and the stop light.
It will bump start but only runs for a little while (maybe a minute) idling at 500rpm and then dies.
I have a feeling it could be a myriad of issues combining to make one.
The car had a couple of very heavy landings while I was on the south coast, one was airborne at about 80mph and the other has left tarmac embedded on the bottom of my gearbox.
Gonna check the earths and the fuses and then go and get a code reader.
Oh and as for f*cking about
- Called the AA, because i was in a live lane they wouldnt take any details from me till id called the Police
- Police called, AA arranged
- Police arrived and helped my push it a way back up the slip road then bump start it.
- Then the car died and so we pushed it all the way back up the slip road into a "place of safety" and they buggered off and f*ck me that was quite a push.
- AA arrived with a low loader, loaded the car and said they were only taking me to a services (back down the A3) and that a local recovery company would be out at 0430 to try and fix it. I said if he joined the M25 he could have me home by 0430.
- Got to the southbound Wisley services on the A3 and unloaded the car.
- The AA driver gets a call saying no load it back up and take him home so back on the truck she goes
- He then gets another call saying no unload it again and await the breakdown garage and cancel the job so he does that.
- Then you would not believe it by this point, another phone call saying load it back up again and take him home.
- Loaded up and then realise its almost 5 miles the wrong way down the A3 to be able to turn around to go back.
- Finally got home to bed at 0530 after leaving the coast at 0130.
