I just wanted someone to feel sorry for me

Nope, Mechanic said when he puts it on the computer yokie, it kicks out a list of error codes as long as Naomi Campbell's leg!

O, and it's a diesel

Has he tried talking it to nicely? Stroking it and telling it that everything's going to be okay? Even played a bit of One Direction to it?

Dante

More importantly, has he tried plugging it out and back in again?

He must be. I don't suppose you recall any of the list that he gave you ?

fiona12

He didn't give me a list, just put it back together so it went off to another mechanic today.

No one direction from this new fella yet, do you think he knows what he's doing?

My hubby thinks there is no diesel getting to engine, and he keeps telling me it's a heap of scrap to get rid of, but I refuse to hear that.

C'mon ramp up the sympathy a bit!!

Might be as simple as a fuel pump relay or a lift pump, keep your fingers crossed.

For sympathy, talk to MugMugs he's the huggy one around here

Hahah,

Comparing cars to maintenance of girlfriends:

Mondeo, low maintenance - regular Garage flowers and quarterly date nights:D

Ferrari, High maintenance - Constant love and affection, weekends in Monaco plus a platinum credit card with no limit

Toyota corolla - fat chick who goes out of their way to give you what you want for nothing in return but your loyalty

They are not error codes, its the Japanese owners manual ....

as it happens, mine's a Mondy (dressed up to be a pretend unmarked - silver, no alloys in the winter when it's on its winters and a high-vis jacket across the back shelf!!!)
