Lmao oh yeah forgot about that! Hahaha

Car isn't well today :( Its not starting. RAC are coming out in about an hour and a half.

Got the EPC, Battery and Engine light on. When I looked in the handbook, its basically saying its just the engine. Hoping its a loose connection though, but it makes such a horrible wheezing noise when I try to start the engine.

Was absolutely fine when I drove it yesterday around 4pm. Hopefully won't have to go to Seat garage. :cry:

Update later!

Ah I know! Thats all I keep thinking about. But as said before, yesterday was fine. Was about to leave to get petrol earlier and it just sounded all wheezy.

Broke my heart hearing that!

Car is fixed :D

Problem was; the engine flooded itself. Apparently due to low fuel (15 miles on the clock left, even though i've had it lower) and my car being parked on a slope, it would of been at the back of the tank. And as the car tried to start, it obviously thought no fuel and flooded.

The RAC guy just revved and revved until it fully turned over. I asked what if it happens again what do I do, he said to ring them. He just pressed down on a pedal, not sure which though.

At least it was nothing serious!

Yeah I don't do car washes, I've used a Polish hand car wash in Ludgershall, they are pretty good. They charge £5 for the outside. Is that abit too far?

I thought there was a hand carwash along Southampton Rd. in Salisbury?

Still in the process of the house, have to re-paint ours and freshen it up ready for selling. Been packing though, all dvds etc. Gonna go look at some show homes soon.
