My daughter has a Boxster and has been suffering a few flat battery problems of late, its been on a charger for a few days but still flat so not sure if the charger is working correctly. I told her to call the AA out and ask them to jump start it then check the charge rate as its a new alternator last year, then also check the battery - has it the ability to hold a charge or is it FUBARed.
Now my daughter is very bright but seldom follows advice fully - I suggest join the AA/RAC she joins Green Flag!!!! but hey ho... Green Flag arrive but can't open the door as the battery is totally flat so he starts stripping out the wheel arch liner for half an hour to find find the bonnet pull cable.
We had gone to the meet at the Haven Café today and whilst have a bite to eat she texts to say he's not able to open the bonnet so I explained that the red power tag was in the driver's footwell and to power it up with 12 volts and pop the frunk. Great he's in! He then gets it started but failed to check the charge rate or the battery condition so we are no further forward on that front but she's a happy girl and back in love with her Porsche.
All is well with the world for 20 minutes then the dreaded phone number comes up - number one daughter and the words that make me tremble... "Dad", what now I reply, "the man has left all the trim under the wheel hanging down!", I said ring them and ask for a new mechanic to come back out and refit the liners. OK fine will do, she says.
My wife is driving home from the Porsche meet and the number from hell comes up on the phone again!!!! what now child I ask, well its like this dad the car is now hissing and water is coming out of the front corner of the car were the chap had jacked the car up to try to find the bonnet pull cable. He's only gone and damaged the brake pipe as well...!!She has spoken to Green Flag and they have told her to take it to a garage and get it repaired and send them the bill, what a shower of shite
:nooo: :nooo:
