Happy New Year all.
This is probably a stupid question and answers subject to so many variances, but I’m trying to use my car more as it runs the risk of just sitting and rotting during the winter months, albeit on a trickle charger.
I am planning a run with the Wife and kids to the in-laws in the Cotswolds tomorrow (70miles, 20 of which are on M40) and my Wife has put the fear of god up me saying we should pack a survival pack for when (not if) the car leaves us stranded. I bought the car in Oct and although it had a service and 68 point check, this is potentially subject to artistic licence by the selling garage, but 2 days later did a run to Worcs (110 miles each way) and apart from the heater controls needing resetting, it didn’t miss a beat.
Am I setting myself up for a fall with this car, as the more I use it the better it seems to behave and I don’t want the AA man to laugh at me as my family stand shivering by the roadside.
Thoughts and input welcomed.
Cheers,
B
