  • Well, I have managed to get home.

    The RAC man got it started but said I will have to take it to garage tomorrow as he thinks it is the starter motor.

    It is still under warranty, so hopefully it wont be expensive

    MF - I know its not much consolation but we've all been there with the starter motors - I had a car once where I used to carry a spanner around with me and had to give the starter motor a sharp tap with it to get it going :)

  • Hi guys,

    Well the car is fixed apparently it was just a simple earth lead connected to the starter motor that has frayed away. They have replaced that and I can hopefully pick it up tomorrow morning

    Managed another NSD today, so I have achieved my target for the month, but I am going to keep going

    Also managed another 10p on the scratchcards this morning.
