Drove it home in first without touching the accelerator pedal for the 1st 300m and then freewheeled it the last quarter a mile. Best guess EGV again. Last replaced 75000 miles ago. -- Adam |

Misjudged the angle of the towing strap, didn't watch the towing angle, and pulled the back corner of the car smash into the substation paling fence with the delicate crunching of brakelights.
