This morning I felt quite ok and after Ramadan decided to test the car.
The car would not start so it will be towed for a new battery
I hardly drive due to fear and anxiety and I will need to pay for a new battery
Again, due to negligence and fear this is costing me a new battery
Big lesson learn to look after everything you have otherwise it will cost more in the long run

After getting a new battery my lovely, go out and turn the engine on at least once a week, let it run for a while. Evan press the excelerator a couple of times, but better still, take it out for a drive!
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
Life has a way of teaching us lessons
I think I will have no choice but to start driving once the battery is replaced
Lesson learnt
But given the global pandemic of Corona Virus it is something which can be resolved
Thank you
Are you looking forward for your new 12 inch mattress ?
Waiting patiently for my new mattress. 😀
It may also need an alternator and new tyres, if it's been sat for more than a few months. lts a good idea to check for nesting animals and chewed cables and pipes. Then it will be an MOT as well.
Not the best news, but better be safe.
Cheers, Midori
Hi Roukaya,
Are you sure you need a new battery? Our car won’t start, but all it needs to get it going is a charge.
Hi Roukaya,
What a nuisance, but don't feel too bad about it. The expense is the worst thing, but we've all had such a lot to think about in recent weeks, that it's small wonder you haven't been thinking about car maintenance. In the scheme of all we've had to put up with, I'd try to just smile about it and be glad it's only a car battery, and, as you said, just remember in future that it's yet another thing we have to keep our eye on (even in a pandemic)! 😃
Hello
Thank you for your reply
I expect I half knew this would happen as I hardly drive
It is a lesson in negligence but I have a genuine anxiety over driving
This is why this would eventually happen
Same with my teeth ,I have neglected my teeth and my front tooth is wobbly
If you do not look after what you have , it will cost you in the long term
I hope you are ok
Do not feel to bad I went down a pot hole ! Garage was closed so had to go for week tracking out!
Could you please explain Tracking out
It is what happens when you drive down a pot hole you do the tracking and damage wheel .
Did that too! So many pot holes in the winter.
Quite common one
Yes it is, so annoying when it happens though!!
Yes 100% when it is round the virus and places closed.
It is so true, if you don't take care of the little things, they turn into major events down the way. Luckily Greenflag saved the day. I am with them and they are very prompt, with good service. xx
Thank you for your kind reply
Again a real lesson to learn , avoidance and neglect can cause real expense
Green Flag are part of an account if I have
They are very good and polite
They are due to tow the car tomorrow morning at a MOT up the road
But in the grand scheme of things it is an expense but it can be fixed .
We are unable to fix and repair so many who have suffered due to the Pandemic
Roukaya now you know to run your car so the battery doesn’t go flat. If you have long periods between driving that would cause a lack of confidence. I’m fine in the day but I don’t like driving at night when I went a long time not having to. Funny creatures aren’t we!
At least your battery should be okay next winter as that’s when a lot of batteries fail. When the weather gets cold.
Take care, Ali 🙂
