pre meet car teething problems

Postby delorean12uk » Thu Oct 15, 2015 4:32 pm

The reason I am posting this topic is to find out if anyone in the club has suffered from pre meet car teething problems. Every time I go to Marchtec, Eurotec, or Octobertec, suddenly out of the blue something doesn't work, breaks or falls off, every time without fail. Today my passenger door has decided it doesn't want to open properly, with no apparent issues in the past. F@<k it, I'm not looking at it now, it can wait, but do any other members suffer from similar issues???

Just the usual sh1t at work so I have to work longer hours before any holiday for event I've booked a year in advance.

This year I've not had the cover off my car since driving it home from euro tec in June

Battery flat as a pancake!
It's not that I don't drive it very often ( last driven on Monday)
I think it's the central locking module so I have disconnected it for the time being
All charged up and ready to go now!

I'll rework the module so it doesn't make your battery flat :)
