My stepdaughter, Kirsten, asked me to pick her up from school today, as last week, the teacher asked the kids what cars their parents had ( why??), and when she said we have a TVR, no-one believed her, so she asked me to pick her up one day this week, bit shallow, I know, but what the hell! (I have a week off), so today it was (was being the operative word!)
My Tam's in the garage, and Chan has to move her MG out of way before I can back out onto the driveway and into the road (nightmare at the best of times!), but today, a 2.45pm, no blipper for all three of our cars worked! She got into the MG, but the immobiliser wouldn't let her start it, same with the Clio too! The only one that would start was the Tam (although the fob blipper wasn't working too!), but it was trapped, couldn't get out!

What the hell could cause all three blippers to not work? Kirsten had to catch the bus instead! Once she was home, all the blippers worked as if nothing had happened!!! How spooky's that???

Radio wotsit interference. Happened to my Chimaera once or twice (usually in underground garages) and my Audi A6 twice too (at petrol stations).

Worse than that, who's going to believe Kirsten at school when she says all 3 blippers for the cars were broken so the TVR couldn't come.

The agony!
