  1. Had an unusual problem today, went to Asda with Emily, got back to the car and it wouldn't open with the remote, the interior light came on and the boot unlocked but not the doors.

     

    Managed to open the drivers door with the key, but couldn't open the passenger door from inside. Emily climbed through, I got in and closed the door, then had the brilliant idea of locking the car and trying to unlock it again, no joy :(

     

    Drove home, figuring I could wind down the window and open the drivers door with the key :)

     

    Got home tried pressing the button to open the car, but in the process pressed the button that opens the glass part of the boot lid. Guess what when that's open you can't unlock the doors even with the key.

    So now were stuck in the car, I rang Kathy who was indoors, but she has her bloody phone on silent. :mad:

    She rang me back a few minutes later and I had to get her to open and close the boot, then passed her the key out the window so she could let us out, Emily still had to climb through to get out the drivers door.

     

    Fucking German crap. :LOL:

     

    Seems the issue is a relay and it gets worse when the car is hot. :(

     

    I'm also not impressed by the fuel consumption, in the 147 on my drive to work I can average 42mpg in the Bimmer 37mpg, that's a 2.0 petrol Alfa against a 2.0 Diesel BMW. Either the Alfa is lying or the BMW is too thirsty.
