    I know Budge, I know :rolleyes:

    This is all my fault, I said the words 'I would do absolutely ANTHING to not go to the party this weekend' yesterday :eek:....very superstitious colleague said, 'don't say that!! You've jinxed yourself now!!!'

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    How the hell am I going to tell OH that car is okay now :confused: (though, obviously leave it till it's too late to drive to the party :shhh:)

    Jo,

    Why not disconnect a lead to something and then get a very knowledgable (sp) neighbour/friend to connect it back on.

    Ok so you will look like the little woman who doesn't know a jot about cars, but hey ho.

    Needs must.

    Btw I am not devious, but we need a plan ;)

    Anyone got any other ideas?

    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    How helpful :rolleyes:

    Then just try the car later when you have to go somewhere & be all surprised that it's working properly. He saw that it didn't work before so will have to accept it, surely? :confused:

    If not, be devious ;)
