so i got back from SA yesterday and i find a note on my skoda saying basically "get out my parking space!"
now, i left my car in the far corner of the car park at my flat and i think my girl must of used it then parked, lazily, in someone elses space.
so, being nice i went to move the car. first sign of trouble... no response from the remote, then the central locking didnt activate when i used the key in the lock. then confirmation.... completely dead, not even a click when turned to ingnition on.
a pair of jump leads was procured and i started to push the car out of the space so i could jump it using my girlfriends car. then the 2nd problem hit me.... front lefts gone all dub style low rider on me!!! rear right corners gone all Dakar high lift!
so while its been sat for maybe 4 weeks.... the battery went completely flat and the front left suspension has collapsed. great. thankfully after we pushed it to a safe place i managed to get it started, so at least it will lock with the remote, but i dont have enough fuel to let it run and charge.
why would the suspension just collapse like that? its leaking some fluid becuase it left a trail wherever we pushed it. im guessing the damper just shat its innards out?
good job i earned double money for 3 months, my macbooks fucked and now my car is fucked and its out of insurance to boot!
