hubby thinks it is the something to do with the immobiliser or the bsi. You put key in making starting noise but it doesn't 'turn over'. The recovery guy also thought it was immobilser but as it was 9pm on Christmas Eve all partied were just more interested in getting home.

That is a a very fair offer from Dilly but the second posting in a few weeks were the recovery guys have more or less shrugged their shoulders. They used to sort the problem for you. Maybe the goal posts have been moved and we need to carefully look at what cover we have.

My last post was meant to go as a pm, don't know how I messed that up :-)
With modern cars it would be near impossible for the rescue company's to carry the parts needed for roadside repairs, gone are the days of changing an ignition lead or a set of points and off you go.

I thought katyem and Salmon are related as Salmon says "We".

"We" meant all of us, everybody, the whole world.

It would appear the ZipperClub wishes to interpret postings in a very strange way indeed. Perhaps it is the tablets.

I dont need recovery guys for a car, so "We" is not applicable.

"but the second posting in a few weeks "

what on earth is that about?

I was referring to this post

I would like to say thank you to Zipper Club for confirming my decision not to renew my subscription to this forum. Too many folk trying to make themselves look clever. See Proverbs 17:28

Trying to undertand that you are refering to

would be beyond anyone except yourself.

I dont see where the "recovery guys" are mention in the above thread.

"but the second posting in a few weeks were the recovery guys have more or less shrugged their shoulders."
At least my tablets are prescribed by the doctor and as I was always told by my mum, "If you dont know, ask". I dont need to look clever, thats why I was asking.
