Years ago...I had a Vauxhall FD Victor.......engine stopped whilst in outside lane at Maidenhead on the M4. Phoned RAC told him the wire from the condenser had come off. If I held it to the connection the car ran fine. 'It may not be that' was the reply. I said if I had some tape or some way of holding the connection, I would be able to get going. I need another condenser, just bring one.
When they turned up, I said have you got a condenser. 'No' was the reply, 'We have to treat you like idiots that don't know what you are talking about' !!!!!!!!!
Fair enough, some people do say they
think its something, and RAC man would be inundated with unrequired spares, but come on....I gave a flippin' good description to the bloke on the phone, who also said..'If you do get it attached, don't move in case it comes off again' !! Whaaaat
