Bugger. Fingers crossed they sort it this year

Which specialist, out of interest. I'm from Waterloo originally, and now in Warrington.

Picked the car up yesterday , started first time on the button , had a lovely drive home.
Parked on the drive , half an hour later , wouldnt start .Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This is driving me nuts , garage reckoned it was a wiring fault.

Hopefully getting someone out from the garage on monday as ive said im not having it recovered on another transporter , ive allready had my rear bumber and front bumper damaged getting on and off transporters.

Will update on Monday ! watch this space!!!!!!1

That's bad news, hope you get it sorted . . .

If you ever move the car onto ramps or transporter always engage lift mode on the air suspension and it will give you an increased height and clearance to try and help avoid things like that happening again. You can actually drive the car in lift mode up until 40mph so if you're in an area with mud slush floods etc it's worth remembering also

Indeed worth remembering little things like that, would applying jacking mode after lift mode also prevent the car trying to self level?

Lift mode is called 'Ainsdale Beach' mode in our household.
