[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=The Rodent]More than likely the battery if its been sitting doing nothing for ages.
Problem with vehicles is all sorts of stuff can lock up if they aren't used for a bit.

How old is the car?[/quote]

I think that’s what it is. Happened before. Well, it’s a (pandemic) baby, 3 years, so hardly been used at all.

Anyway. Thank you, everyone, for support. It’s more than I got from my insurance.

In other news, just saw this headline from the British Vogue, and I think the cinema Armageddon is here: “Is Harry Styles The Greatest Actor Of Our Time?”[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=Austruck][quote=AgrippinaX]My car is dead. I thought it was the keys 
/battery, but it is completely dead. Hardly ever use the thing, but still annoyed and very stressed. It doesn’t react to keys being inserted or anything else. Insurance asked how long it’s been like that and I can’t reliably advise. 

I love driving long distance on the motorway (and breaking the speed limit), but hate the thing sitting there in front of my house, especially now that it’s dead.

Thinking of leaving it and just buying a new car. Been a long time coming.[/quote]
How do you know it's not the battery? Also, might just be the starter.[/quote]

I don’t. What is a “starter”? *cries*

The shop people told me it’s not the battery, but what does anyone know these days.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Cars are the worst. That’s why I’m so reluctant to sell what I got right now. It is the only car that has given me zero problems. That is a huge deal, so I’ll keep eating the car payment.[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=beelzebubble]Piece of S**t  an affectionate term for a car that is always in the shop[/quote]

Ha, that’s great. I thought it was something very technical but also obvious that one is really meant to know if one owns a car. And actually as I never use mine it’s hardly ever in the shop. They tend to tell me when I diligently bring it in for service that it doesn’t need any.[/quote]

What’s that?[/quote]
