Well... today was interesting. My wife's 2004 City-Coupe decided it wasn't going to turn over. It had done this yesterday as well but we did eventually get it going (we think it could be someone to or the solenoid itself). Anyhow, as part of yesterday, I bought a tow pole and today it came in use.
However, it has rather struck me that my car looks like a AA recovery vehicle (quite apt really, the role was a AA pole)! Despite all the issues with the clutch, still managed to tow her car to the garage.
