Title: Car won't start
Post by: Martin_1962 on 28 June 2007, 19:21:11

Parked up - 5 minutes later car won't start, cranks fast but no rev counter movement. Left it ten minutes then it worked, full engine failure 2 minutes later, 5 minutes than it ran OK to get home.

Is this what I think it is?

I bloody hate unions - their strikes always seem to inconvenience me  >:(. Last time there was a strike it was just before my Grans birthday City Link is not a cheap way of sending a card, prior to that I was unemployed and my benefit money was stuck in the post for a week.

I don't know why but they have it in for me >:(
