Calling the dealer and ranting at them that the car wont start makes you look a bit of a tool. Wasn't there an instruction that appeared in the instrument display? Typically, when the ignition key is turned (or ignition button pressed) without the correct pedal depressed (clutch pedal on manual cars, brake pedal on automatic cars), a message pops up in the instrument display along the lines of 'Depress clutch pedal to start vehicle'.

Tends to be either the clutch pedal (manual gearbox vehicles) OR brake pedal (automatic gearbox vehicles). I'd be interested to read if anyone has driven a vehicle that needed both pedals depressed before it would start as that seems totally unnecessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Talking of winding people up I worked with this woman years ago and she was nuts! Anyway she would piss everyone off with her attitude about having kids. She openly used to say she thought the Chinese law of one child should exist in this country! As she was a dog lover, a UKIP supporter and gullible as hell I'd thought I'd wind her up by telling her I was suprised by the UKIP policy to allow dog eating in this country. She was horrified. It was quite amusing to see her tell us how she may have to change the party she supported and how shocked she was. Anyway to add some more fuel to the fire I told her i'd always wanted to try dog so UKIP had my vote. At that point she looked at me and infront of about 4 other people said, if you want to eat dog go to India!! After that it wasn't fun winding her up anymore.

I'd played the OCS album (45rpm) then put on the Ty Segall album (33rpm) and forgot, Ty Segall on speed, frightening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
