I don't f**king believe it

[Hazza]

Was driving fine earlier.... parked my car, went home to eat lunch, then decided to go off to Royal Mail to check up on my parcel that was meant to arrive 45mins ago, and im worried that i have lost £190, coz of the postal strike tomorrow

and now the car won't start up!! FFS

 

[Timmay]

french cars eh - who'd have em

 

[Hazza]

I'm not going to have one ever again! lol

 

[Timmay]

i said that after my 1.6 then i got a sport lol

so its completely dead then?

 

[Hazza]

when i try to start the engine on, by turning the key, it tries to start, then stops, and gives up

AA should be on their way.

I'm late back to work aswell

 

[Timmay]

battery flat maybe? or no spark....

 

[Death62]

Immobiliser

 

[Hazza]

something AA could fix?

 

[Laura]

looks like you upset someone up there

 

[Hazza]

I know It's a sign...

Once i get it fixed, up on Pistonheads it goes.

 

[Andy_J]

it's probably cos you dress it up like a girl..

Take that bra off first

 

[Hazza]

(didn't )

Immobiliser

yup, thats what happened to mine, RAC fixed it

i always feel like selling my car when it goes wrong, but never do

 

[Hazza]

Planned on getting a Civic, and i have a perfect excuse now .

AA still haven't rang me yet... better come soon.

 

[Greeny.]

Get an RS you pansy

 

[matt__f]

crank sensor?

 

[Hazza]

If i get a new car, it'll have to be a bigger car than a Clio.

But I have got one eye on a 197!

 

[Hazza]

Been an hr since i rang AA, and they said there could be another 1hr delay coz there is only one f**king person working in Welwyn Garden City, surely not!

 

[Hazza]

i jst tried doing the dial check for 10 secs, let it run... then switched it off

then turned the engine on, and its started!.... hmmm should i still wait for the AA and see what was wrong with it before?? or just leave it until it happens again?

 

[J0sh]

I had the same trouble. Went to turn the engine on, it just tries to start and makes a horrible noise. Turns out battery was flat.

 

[gazbenger]

tbh its probably the battery, if theres a hill by rolls it down and try and bump start it

 

[tapias]

sounds like a batt issue.

 

[Djw John]

If it has eventually started its an immobiliser issue, most likely the key

 

[Hazza]

The AA guy came and looked at the car anyway. He suspects a crank shaft sensor problem. But his 'thing' couldn't communicate with the clio

Re: I don't f**king believe it

Most of the time its just dirty, try getting it cleaned, I did with mine before replacing and it still works fine, touch wood, my mechanic even did it for free

what a dirty boy! id never stick my thing in a car - unless its a lambo!

 

[Hazza]

LOL, he didn't name that machine he plugged into the car, so im calling it a thing!

 

[Hazza]

Oh well, just confirms that im going to sell the car and get a Civic, sorry boys!

But i guess its all good! You'll see the back of 'dodgy' mods!

Maybe it died of embarassment because of that car-bra
