I took Lucy's car to Birmingham for the day yesterday. She took mine down the road to Portsmouth. Last thing she said was "Yours is reliable at the moment yeah?" It has been working fine, but the diff is getting a bit loose, so I just said yes.
She got back in the car to leave Portsmouth and the battery was completely dead. She called me to let me know I'm in the doghouse. I waited till I got home to let her know that I had kerbed one of her alloys quite badly.... I don't even get a doghouse now.
Quite shaken by lack of ability to notice a kerb, although it was dark, but I should probably give up now and just get taxis.
The recovery guy that rescued her told her she had left the lights on which had run the battery down. Quite annoyed me because it's almost impossible to do in an Impreza. You have to reach over the steering wheel and press a really difficult to reach button. Which she didn't do..... Anyway, he jump started and she drove home. Unfortunately turned off the engine before winding the windows up, so it spent today with a tarp over it in case of rain while it charged!
I think the alternator failed. The battery charged up ok.
Lucy told me I had to buy a new car..... I'm on Pistonheads now.Last edited by charlesr; 13-12-2015, 17:58.

It's an Impreza chassis with a raised and bigger shell, so it handles pretty much the same, but might be big enough for camping in France. It would also be quicker than mine (more power). Full details here: http://www.svaimports.com/cars/stock/forester-sti-2/
