Well it worked when it went in to him, and didn’t when it came out. Convincing him of that fact is another matter

Update...the joys of Google suggested that I hold the remote against the IR sensor on the door...it’s intermittent, but works. This indicates that the error is with the RF system. So, what has the trimmer done, and how do I fix it, or how much is it likely to cost me to have my local Indy fix it...

So, I picked my car up after having a replacement hood and frame fitted. All was well until I got home and tried to lock the car. Nada! Checked battery in remote, tried spare remote, both have strong LEDs, but don’t work. A little googling suggested a blown 7.5amp fuse in the boot, so a quick...

A friend had an A140 for a few months, and around here in hilly Devon, it was seriously underpowered. Depending on your...
