Makes a change of some of the diagnosese we get coming into my current place...

RR's less than a year old sometimes, with 'the engine is seized'.

After jump leads applied, car springs into life.

Then find courtesy lamp in the rear switched on, causing the battery drain over quite a few days....   :D

Next door's sister had the AA out to hers a while ago, diagnosed as a faulty engine ECU. One fuse later and all was running perfectly.
Where do they find these muppets?

Funny that, my 12 year old Vectra shuts down interior lights stereo etc. an hour or so after ignition off...
