We’re running. I’m in now, and engine turning over. Must have been greasy terminals on the battery, it was fine after I went around them with a toothbrush.
- technically minded? I think I’m logical, and good with mechanics. Not an electrician though, and have had a few DIY shocks, so probably more nervous than I should be.
- waste of money on the Arteck? I don’t think so at all. It has got me and a number of friends out of trouble on several occasions. It also once enabled me to play the hero on a Eurotunnel train, after an announcement that disembarkation would be delayed for 30 minutes while emergency services were called to start someone.
- thanks for the pointers wighty, I’ll look at that
If in this situation again, or making recommendations to anyone else, I’d certainly advise popping the hood the way that I did. Dead easy to get to, a lot of room to work in, and no risk of shock. Other people might have differing views.
can’t thank you guys enough for bearing with me, and simplifying things for my simple mind. M80, TonyDyson and LostKiwi in particular, if you are in the West Kent area then drop me a PM, as I definitely owe you a drink Or two.
Now that this saga appears to be over, we can all go back to the Brexit saga.
thanks again.
