Just to prove that it does work and can get me to places. It was mucky again by the time we got there.
And it refused to start when I wanted to got home too 🙄. Bit of wiggling sorted it though. So glad I wasn't in a field full of car enthusiasts at the time. 🤦

I did look for a stick last night so I could go all Basil Fawlty on it but there's no such thing as trees in deepest Rotherham. And I don't know where the UCH is, but I'm willing to give it a smack. 🔨
This morning on the way to work I stopped off for petrol and the bloody thing took ages to start again. I finished work at 6 pm and again it refused to start. I summoned the AA via the app and was told 2 hours so I cancelled them and summoned the wife who sent her dad to pick me up who took...
I had a mondeo that was making a noise that had a Ford master tech suck air through his teeth like a like a 2 bit plumber. Did I tell the dealer about it when I traded it in?
