Picked up my “new” car on Saturday. Of course, I mean, “new to me” rather than “new” – it’s an N-Reg Rover 200SD and is very nice. It’s a diesel so is much more efficient than my old Peugeot 405!

However… (and there’s always a however!) I’ve just got in it to go home and it hasn’t started :( The garage was supposed to do a service before I collected it – hmmm… will have words tomorrow I think!

Waiting for the RAC as I write this….

Update: The RAC man has come along and poked around in the engine bay… then the car started :) Apparently the immobiliser had turned itself on and the little light on the dashboard that indicates this wasn’t lit… a bit more poking and that now works too :)
