It's off the lift!
Unfortunately notCollecting bread BC?
Charged battery on the S Class, now swapped the charger on to the Lexus.
Had to go through the rear passenger door to open the tailgate with the emergency release mechanism as it won't open with any buttons or the key. Not for the first time. Of course, the battery lives behind said tailgate.
It was repaired with a new motor last March under warranty, wouldn't open again in January this year but when I took it in to them to look at, typically it was fine. It went in last Tuesday for it's 6 year major service where they found out that it wasn't working again as apparently the new motor has a fault. Yet another one ordered but it could be a while in the current climate.
This is now the 3rd time it's let me down in the 2 years I've owned it so, unless some goodwill is forthcoming from Lexus, it may just be time for another car change. I had a 15 year old Subaru which was more reliable than this thing, I may just go back to one of those or not even bother with a daily/winter car any more.
Do you anticipate doing a lot of miles now you are a man of leisure Dave?
If you reckon on 5k or so PA, I'd be inclined to just have the one car and save on tax/insurance and upkeep of a second car.
Unless of course you do a fair bit of load lugging and trips to the tip. Cant be turning up there in the S class
I love that lift.
