Magical Mystery Car

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry>>

You know there's something wrong if your car is pulling a current of 3 amps - with no keys, no ignition, and all relays and fuses except of the main fuse removed from the fuse boxes. Nothing moving, nothing glowing, nothing flowing, nothing shaking, but 3 amps. That's an improvement over the prior situation: to go through adventures with my big old Ford, I now don't even have to drive it all. And now it also becomes clear why Ford really has bought Jaguar: Jaguar is legendary for bizarre circuitry failures, so they were a perfect match.

Jaguar is also known for magically missing gears (eg the rear gear) in its hand-made gear-boxes. Have you checked your car has all gears that are stated on your shift knob? ;)

Oh dear, really have to check that, especially since I am hardly using the 1st and 3rd gears at all! ;-)
