Cars - flipping annoyances

BTW - DON'T disconnect the battery without making sure you have made a note of all/any codes you'll need when reconnecting - radio code, key code etc - or you could be getting deeper in the mire.

I would say depending what vehicle you got,
Mine says,key in ignition 1turn wait 10 seconds
Switch off the start normal,just reprogramming your key/fob

Ha ha....so true. Got a Nissan/Renault Van and for the last 4 years I've not seen it, I've tried, god I've tried to find it....and I recon I'm a bit car savvy. One day !!

It's under the passenger foot/feet space...

Memo to the OP; Hyundais are fantastic cars. Particularly the Tucson. Driven by all the handsomest, suavest men about town.

Have you tried finding the battery on a car recently? French cunts are the worst - hide them under the passenger seat or deep below mountains of lego under the bonnet that have the sole purpose of making the engine look nice. I remember when most basic under the bonnet could be done with wd40 and a couple of sizes of spanner.

Yeah I remember changing, starter motors, alternators, not forgetting to gap the points with those gauges. Could never do that with new cars today. I still change the oil and fuel filter on my 05 plate Mondeo though

4 years it's taken me and there it is, under the rubber matting. I thought it was all one piece. Thanks for that, I will sleep well tonight.

Were the fk was it
Mine took 15mins,just uscrewing afew bolt,a little bit off working out,

It was 307 and it's lower down in the engine compartment than I expected - not on a plate at the top accessible with a 10mm spanner

Are you still able to open up the carb and pour a bit of petrol in while your mate turns it over?

well to my amazement the Scenic which was a failure waiting to happen took me on a family holiday from Nth Yorks to Bournemouth and back without a hiccup ( other than the usual array of warning lights ) but its fate was sealed.
This year I have done few miles except the holiday and found a Chevrolet Matiz - 10 years old but a 2nd car for a household and only done 11.5k miles so I bought that 4 weeks ago. Cheap. handy motoring - aircon, leccy widows, C/L do me for now then give to one of my kids ( if they can be arsed to learn to drive ) - its dead funny to go thru gaps that were once just a pipe dream - £25 to fill up.......haven't had to refill yet.
