I got a phone call from my wife yesterday telling me that her car won't start:crazy: .

From this moment I wasn't sure what to do, so I thought it must be a women thing. So I told her that I couldn't be bothered to go to tesco car park to find the problem.

I get a phone call 30 minutes later from her telling me that the steering wheel had just locked and the key wouldn't turn.

So she unlocked the steering and got the car started.:bannana:

SAVED ME FROM GOING TO THE CAR:D . I JUST HAD A GUT FEELING IT WAS A SIMPLE THING.
 
Lol, I got a hysterical phone call from the ex a couple of weeks back. Fearing the worst, had she crashed the car? Had her mum been taken into hospital?

No, the CD player in her car had stopped working, and she didn't want to drive home in silence. :rolleyes:
 
Had a phone call from the wife...why can't I get any money out of the bank? No ideal love .

No ATM wont accept her card --- so I call Barclays -- they dont understand either so I tear them off a strip..

Wife comes home ...furious with me ...so I say I'm sorry -- she throw card at me and says get it sorted..

I look at card as say.............Hunni this is the AMEX card ..not Barclays...



I call back Barclays - explain and apologise...they are p!ssing themselves I can tell......

My mum called the RAC once because her automatic car wouldn't start. That'll be because it is in "Drive" madam!

When the Espace would not start, before the RAC came out they had a list of things to check. Also had similar on a Pug which I could not get to lock. Turned out to be the glass window which opened seperately in the tailgate was not shut. Again they had a check list before sending a patrol out.

Scarily enough, my gf did exactly the same to me on saturday afternoon. She had taken her grandmother christmas shopping, and couldn't turn the key. She rang me in a panic, saying 'the car's broken' etc. I asked her if she'd tried wriggling the steering wheel, as it was probably just the steering lock, but she insisted it was broken. So, I dragged myself the ten miles to where she was parked up, jumped in the car, wriggled the steering wheel, turned the key, and started the car for her. Dopey mare. :rolleyes: ;)

So yes, it's a woman thing.

Me too...but mine was in a motorboat off the Devon coast. First time out with the family and we stopped the engines to drift a little and take in the beauty of it all.
Come time to continue our journey and....nothing! Dont panick Mr Mannering! ( but a certain mild fear in my stomach as we were going to blow onto the shore:crazy: )

Quick check of systems and we were in gear...whew;it started!:D
 
Got called out because she could not start a borrowed Mondeo.....turns out she was trying to start the car with a key not fitted with a transponder....Put the other key on ring (fitted with transponder) in the ingnition...started 1st time!!
 
If i had told my ex i couldnt be bothered to come out, she would have set the car on fire, got a cab home and charged it to me and then yelled for an hour or two.

Oh, long before. We split up over 2 years ago, divorce completed middle last year. But tbh it was part of the reason why we did, and she's just got worse since :rolleyes:

Anyone else got any similar story.

Well even that didn't work because I bought her a TOM TOM and she couldn't find the cigerette holder to plug it in and therefore got lost.

Little did she know the cigerette holder was hidden in the ash try.
 
Had my other halfs car serviced and made an inadvertent joke about her driving too fast and braking too late and hard.

Next thing she had gone through a red light and got 3 points, because she was scared to brake.

I no longer get involved in trying to 'correct' her driving. I just pay the bills.
