So my mate is in Afghan and I've been looking after his 05 megane. Been starting it, driving round base etc etc.
He is coming back today and today's the day the car fucks up!
I jumped in and went about de icing the windows. Used his vehicle pass to scrap the ice of and then worked all the electric windows, they all went down and cleared the rest of the ice but only 3 of them came back up!
The rear d/s passenger window will go about half way up and then retreats back down again. So I googled the problem and its a naquered window regulator. I've rung the as to come out and get the window up to secure the car. Apparently Renault know about the fault and will pay 75% of the cost for a new regulator. I told the as I'd meat him outside the gate so we don't have to mess round with passes etc...
Now a week ago i put a tenners worth of petrol in the car from "elite service station" just outside camp...
Whilst I was on the phone to the aa I noticed that the car was juddery at idle, wasn't sure if it was just a megane thing so ignored it. Drove 3 mins down the road to outside the gate and the car was really juddery, felt underpowered and like it was missing and then the engine management light cane on.
Hopefully the as can fix it butnif not what am I gonna tell me mate! He's back at 1600 and wants to get straight home!
