TDV8 Vogue - 11k miles - 1st problem! | |
Me and SWMBO went to Tesco last night (You just know you are getting older when that's a Saturday night). Dogs were left in the RR so I left some windows down slightly and had the roof ajar too. Pressed the lock button on the keyfob twice and went off to view the produce on offer.
Within an hour we were back at the car on a dark halloween night. Took out the keyfob and pressed unlock........
Nothing!
Tried a few times with the same result. Checked it was actually my car, then checked the door, then tried again with the keyfob, then began to get worried about the dogs. I guessed my keyfob battery had failed.
Fortunately, SWMBO had her key with her so she whipped it out of her hand-bag and pressed unlock.......
Nothing!
Now we are getting very concerned. Two dogs inside, it's dark, cold and we are standing outside the car with a full trolley of shopping and lots of stupid drivers using the car park like a race track.
Anyway, I tried the drivers door lock with the key and this unlocked but the alarm went off when I opened the door.
So, we can get into the car and rescue the dogs with the alarm going but lets just try the keyfob again to silence the alarm....... Bingo - All back to normal.
So, WTF happened there then? The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom
