I understand car troubles. Here in California we have to "Smog" our cars every 2 years (Test for emissions) My old 96 Ford ranger has been notorious for failing, 8 yrs ago, I took it in and the Technician says the car computer does not have any stored history. Take it out, drive it for about 80 miles, all different areas (City/rural) and bring it back, I did as instructed, the tech said again, No History. Poop! I took it to my auto mechanic to figure out what the problem was. Turns out the plug/electrical connection to the computer was making and breaking. Every time it broke connection the history would get erased. Cost me nearly $400/220 sterling, but it passed. 2 years ago it failed again, seems the thermostat was not functioning correctly so the temp sending unit never told the computer that the engine was up to operating temperature. Another $400/220 sterling. So Monday I took it to the shop for them to "smog" it . . . and it passed w/o any problems, YAY!Good afternoon/evening all.
Alfie has come to stay for the week. He's made himself at home and is snoring away on the sofa.
My car is going into the garage tomorrow to see what the whining noise is. I think it could be something to do with the belt or at worse the alternator which might explain why thr battery isn't holding a charge.
I had to charge it again today.
I just hope it's not going to be too expensive.
I'm just about to take Alfie for X little walk and then I'm going to have an early night. So nos da from me and I hope you've all had a good Sunday.
