Broke Down for 1st Time!

Presuaded the Mrs to come with me for a drive today.

After about a mile and a couple of splutters the car stopped.

Mucked around and got it going again thinking there was a fuel pump problem.

Finally managed to get home, but it wouldn't start again.

It turned out to be a bad earth on the immobilser, so nothing too serious!

That sucks,

Its instances like this that give our other halves the false impression that our cars are cobbler together and unreliable - its happened to me plenty of times!

Glad its nowt serious though.

I'm sure my misses thinks that all the manufacturers knock up their modles on a £250 budget in a single garage and they seem to make reliable cars so why cant we all!
