Is it still there?  Will it run?
« on: 22 January 2007, 14:34:28 »
Getting back on Wednesday.  Will have been 6 weeks.  Miggy was parked on the street.  Do you think it will still be there?  Will the battery be dead? (Remember I can only get in the boot with the key, so left the seat back unlatched just in case.)  Will the tire be flat? (Had to add air every 2 weeks, shop couldn't find leak though.)

Will I be crawling in the boot, thumbing for a jump, and changing the tire, all in sleet/snow?!?   ::)

why can you only get in though the boot? - Or did i miss a thread?  :-/

If air has been going in every 2 weeks, i suspect the tyre will be very soft. But not flat.

Not sure on mine, but my battery dies after about 4 weeks.... but then i do have a slow drain from something.

I'll be mega impressed if it starts on first turn  :y

Driver's door lock doesn't work.  Tried lubing it, may have been changed.  No juice=no remote locks  >:(

Yeah, well what are these forums for?  :D

It's what I'm expecting really.  I will be surprised if the car is gone, and royally tweaked if it has been vandalised.  I have a mate that has already offered to jump it and bring a 12v pump.  It will be what it will be, and the weather will only make it more interesting.  ::)

so left the seat back unlatched just in case.
I must remember to do that before I go away, my drivers lock doesn't work at the moment either.

You'll need a Tunnie!  Lots of uses for one of those  ;D

Apparantly they are cheap to own.  Just a few beers and cheap beans and they'll run forever ;D  Make sure you get the one with the "gadget arms" - sooo useful for hard to reach places  :y

Update, car looks fine if covered in snow.  Tire not too low to get to ASDA.  However, battery completely dead, every electron on the wrong side of the pool.  Got a small 12v battery that I may try jumping into the light in the boot to see if I can power the remote instead of making an impression of Tunnie by trying to crawl through the seat back.  Long term I need to either fix the door lock or find a way of hooking up to the battery without unlocking the car.
