Re: What are the symptoms
No, I have not calmed down, yet ... on to my beloved Porsche Boxter, a wonderful car, really!
The other day, the battery went, it was starting to show signs of use ... and in this cold weather, it gave up ... Ok, I get a new one ... try to open the bonnet and ... I need power for that, bloody idiots!!! Guess what's the only thing under the bonnet ? You guessed it ... the battery, well, and coolant ... I guess in case your battery runs flat and you need coolant ...
Yes, well, there is a way to plug the new battery to connectors near the door to open the bonnet, but ... you need to hold two wires on 4 different poles and action the open bonnet button at the same bloody time, so you need jump leads to attach the cables to the poles on the battery, but crikey ... crikey ... these piss-poor design decisions do make you boil over ...
There, feel much better now ... thanks for reading ... ;-)
