Jump start needed :(

Posted on by Ian C.

GPMINI did not want to run this morning, after being parked for ten days.
The battery was able to unlock the doors but as soon as I tried to turn the engine over, I got various relay clicks, and no engine movement at all!
I borrowed jump leads from Pat & Dave next door – and eventually had to “borrow” Daves Jeep too, since Margarets BMW apparently has no battery (at least, they hid it well and she didn’t know where her car manuals were).

1-1/2 years and 23,000 miles doesn’t sound like a hard life for a battery, even if the GP one is smaller than other MINIs … time for a visit to MINI Peabody I think.

GoMotoring is now …

At least we know it’s someone who’s already well aware of the MINI community … nice going, Barry; I’m sure you’ll look after it well 🙂
