I didn't see Jersey on the drop down menu.

Aston Martin Posted December 7, 2019 Author Posted December 7, 2019 I think he knows about Tac... This one being Tic. Long convoluted story. But I needed to dump the Alessi at work as that's where the Cactus was which has my tools inside. Alessi wouldn't open with the remote.... Absolutely fucking flat. I have a boost pack.... In the cactus.
Aston Martin Posted December 22, 2019 Author Posted December 22, 2019 When pandas attack!!! Emotionally at least. He’s been flat for a while, but will jump. At least he did a fortnight ago. I decide to jump it and take it for a run. I get 20 feet “abs failure, power steering failure, ebd failure " I have no power steering, which is fun... It probably needs a new battery, however the earth-to-gearbox strap corrode. Which requires removal of the battery tray and I can't be bothered. I'll try and trickle charge the battery overnight. I left it idling for 15 minutes... eat my co2 Greta Cuntberg and he wouldn't start. I do earn brownie points for this tri-Panda shot.
jollysmart Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I found with mine that changing the battery sorted it but in true style it paid me back by then doing the same thing about a week later and never again until I changed the battery for a new one when once more it went about a week until it did the same thing. Mine has an alarm fitted which also drains the battery quite quickly to give added hilarity. It could just be the system sorting itself out with a change of battery as they seem to like a bit of Italian drama. New batteries are cheap enough so I go for that option ASAP otherwise you are likely to have all of the fun* in a short while. Aston Martin 1
Kringle Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 @Aston Martin There's an orange alessi on Facebook for 400 quid, Brighton. Have you seen it? Aston Martin 1

Listed as an Eleganza. Steering light should be battery, however "scraping whilst steering" hmm... Could be the steering motor.
Aston Martin Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 6 minutes ago, Kringle said: But it is an alessi right? Yes, but they're all registered as Eleganzas. She hasn't mentioned Alessi once, @Kiltox could steal that. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2738937459559561/
Kiltox Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 That’s a bargain isn’t it, apart from the fact the only person that would actually want an Alessi already has two If someone local to it was able to stash it for a bit I’d take it on.... Aston Martin 1
Kringle Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I'm messaging her now. Free train travel for me so distance isn't too much of a problem! Could be steering pump, maybe even top mounts not sure yet. Fabergé Greggs, Aston Martin and Kiltox 3

Aston Martin Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 She's only been doing 1500-2000 miles a year. However, the car hasn't been cleaned or maybe moved in a while due to the moss everywhere. Needs a new front bumper, it's a standard Panda one. What intrigues me is the lack of lacquer peel. All orange ones have peel ? If it were listed as an Alessi, she might get more for it...
Aston Martin Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 It sold... Did we get it? @Kringle Jim Bell 1

Kringle Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Nope, the first person who messaged came this morning and bought it. Probably a trader... Nuts. Jim Bell and Aston Martin 2
Parky Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Definitely Battery, Mrs P’s 500 did exactly the same when the battery died in that. Never seen so many error messages in one go! Aston Martin 1
Aston Martin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 Collecting a Bosch S4 battery today and I need to take it to a £5 Uzbekistan car wash. Jim Bell 1
Aston Martin Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 The old battery was a Lion eurocarwanks special I assume. It sloshed about like buggary. The new battery is smaller and yet has 4ah more. ? He didn't fire up straight away and "ABS/EBD FAILURE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!?!?!!?!?!!?" So, I turned the engine off and on..., "ABS EBD failure, the car is going to explode, engine fucking off!!!!!!!!!" I tried lock to lock and it did nothing, I drove 10 feet and the lights vanished. Here's the thing, the car feels soo much lighter than the 4x4. It actually moves from a standstill, unlike the 4x4. The brakes are binding to hell and I need to lob some air in the tyres. I may treat him to a £10 car wash.
Jim Bell Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 It sounds like you really don't like that 4x4 man. Are they MEANT to be slow or is the slowness unexpected in yours?

Jim Bell Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Good to know. I really fancy one, one day. Ideally once the values plummet into shite territory.
Aston Martin Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 The same engine... Top one is a normal 2wd 1.2
Aston Martin Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 I forgot about the non-removable valve caps... So I had to remove the wheeltrims like a lunatic. Because it's a £10 minimum Myanmar car wash, on the outskirts of town... Infront of me was an E55 AMG and behind me a brand new 8-series. ? mullett471 1
