Mine was a Pug 407 estate a few years ago.

Bloody thing would not lock. I'd only had it 4 weeks, and had the breakdown service out twice with engine management light issues so was not best pleased.

Bit embarrassed when the guy wanders around opening and closing each door. I'd done that too. Then looked at the tailgate window, which opened separately. Yup. I'd caught the button on the key without realising it. Oops.

To be fair guy did say that this was the first, and that they would be adding it to the list of questions they ask before going out for this fault...

Anyone else?

Title should be "Daft people at breakdown services"

It took forever to explain where i was last year when broken down on A30 west of Exeter.

She kept suggesting places East of Exeter.

I didnt know EXACTLY where i was but "5 miles west of Exeter " is a start.

[Alright it was actually 12 miles but i wasnt counting on trashing the transmission that day]rolleyes
