On the way home tonight I filled up, went back to the car and blow me but the bugger wouldn’t start. All the super duper tech in cars today, including the Ford Push start has one major flaw, what happens when the car doesn’t recognise your key fob? Yup exactly what happened. No matter what I tried the car wouldn’t start since it no longer recognised the electronic keyfob.
So you can’t get the car to start and you can’t even take the steering lock off since that is electronic also and needs to sense the key. After 20 mins, there was a rather large queue forming. The nice AA man turned up and guess what, they have no way of starting the car either.
Let’s recap, the car won’t see the key fob so won’t start, you can’t remove the steering lock because it’s electronic, you can’t lock the car and Mrs Fogg is on a night out miles away, what do you do?
Simply watch rather irate drivers piling up behind you, ho hum.
Tis the weekend
