Broke down yesterday in my discovery on a full caravan site something inside the bellhousing broke had to get the RAC to come and get me the wife, kids, the dog and the caravan totally embarrased everyone out watchin :oops:
-
Hope its not too expensive, always happens at the worst possible moments!
-
I echo that, hope it doesn't cost too much.
I had my own moment the otherweek
Had my first scare with it a few days ago
I only received one set of keys, kept meaning (as you do...) to get another set cut & an extra alarm fob.
We'd been out sto see about Riding-lessons for 'Small-Child'.
SWMBO had got out & I'd locked the door, 'Small-Child' was messing about, so clicked my door lock & walked round to get her out.
Swung door closed behind us, we walked in the house, bags down, coat off, kettle on.................
Where's the Landie keys??
"Amelia! Have you got daddys keys?"
Out I go to see them swinging gently in the ignition switch
So I ended up removing a window (almost too easily done) & reaching inside to open a door.
At least the glass went back without cracking (or leaking)
Thankfully Joanne had her keys with her as well, as I keep my house keys (via a spring-clip) on the same bunch
Still got to organise new keys though :oops:
-
It is something you just get used to! :wink:
We got quite well aquainted with the Green Flag recovery for a while. :lol:
-
we washed our key fob, :oops: :oops: took battery out put it back in pressed it 3 times and it worked! phew, we have only one key fob and when you lock em on it you need it to make it go. still got to get another one :oops: :oops:

That... Is... Worrying... Didn't the alarm go off?

The keys were inside, so the fob hadn't activated it

Most embarassing moment so far was when I got my Hilux stuck in a roadside ditch. Single track lane- I pulled over to let a van past and when I pulled away again I rammed a dwarf bridge wall hidden in long grass. The car was left front axle high & dry on top of the wall. I reversed the car off the wall but the car slid sideways down into the ditch leaving it well & truely stuck!
I rigged up some recovery strops and waited. Luckily the next passing vehicle was a Shogun who's driver managed to drag me out.
Not too embarassing I guess as there weren't that many witnesses.

i said something like that at bathgate when you got stuck in the main part of the drive round route like this (http://members.mud-club.com/galleryimages/cac4200ca9faab9ee962bad74a8b8911.JPG)
