My new car

My new car is.......

DEAD!! No life in it what so ever!

So a week after having it, it's in the garage!

And as a replacement, their so called 'Courtesy Car', I'm driving around an 'S' reg Golf that has no 3rd gear, a clutch that is about to die, and in first gear, I have to get to 5k revs before it even moves

My mood this morning is not good to say the least

What went wrong with the 120d?
 
Well when I went to start it a few times over the weekend, the ABS lights would stay on for 30 seconds or so. Bit weird I thought

But then this morning, when I put the key fob in, I noticed all the counters had reset, the time and date had reset, again, bit weird. Pushed the start button, tried to start, then dead. Pressed it again, this time nothing except what could only be described a grinding noise. Tried one more time, this time, nothing at all, dead

:(

EDIT - Thanks Fox :p I thought these experiences would take a little more than a week
 
Sounds like whatever is wrong with the car has flattened the battery.

Expect the car sales place to.... return it to you with a charged battery.
 
After my harsh words, I hope the following pictures of my car in it's present state will somewhat enlighten your mood :p

Warning lights come on for a period when starting modern cars. This light staying on could be becasue the battery is low and so it's taking longer than usual to do the usual start up routine.

Flat battery it sound like, the casue... could be a few things.

Yep, that's Essex all right.
 
The seats look yellow because of the light. I am replacing the fuel pump as I've been holding it off for too long. The tank has to be pulled out completely to access the pump, thanks Ford

The bumper is off because I found a non creased/faded OEM replacement at Ford Fair for a Fiver and got my dad to spray it at work and that's being fitted.

Still hitting the car with a hammer every morning to start it? ;)
