What car have you got now, Hearthly?
Bump
There was actually a bit of LEXUS DRAAAAMAAHHHHH when it completely refused to start earlier in the week having been sat at the back of the house for 11 days without me having gone anywhere near it.
Battery was completely flat, and I mean absolutely and completely flat, no electrical systems of any sort whatsoever, not even the blippy unlock remote thing worked, I had to use an actual physical key to get into it like a pauper.
Bought a battery charger but the battery wouldn't take a charge at all, it was fucked.
So a nice chap came round from a garage in town with a new battery, installed it and I was back in action, and the car went into a sort of 'initialising' mode and loaded its systems back in like a spaceship in a 1980s sci-fi series. It had forgotten all my climate and audio settings, but remembered my paired phone, for some reason.
I've also bought a battery tester so I'm going to test it every few days just to make sure it isn't losing charge somewhere in the system. The problem is I scarcely need a car these days so it's basically just sat at the back of the house, outside, in the freezing damp cold, which isn't the best conditions for a battery to be sat in.
