bigtunes 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Had a strange problem this morning: Got into car (2l 16v) and plugged my mobile into the cigarette lighter to charge. Turned key blower & radio come on, brief flicker from dash lights otherwise nothing. First thought was the immobilizers gone up the spout, (refuses to start if I'm sheilding the sender thingy with my hand) so made sure I wasn't, tried it a couple of more times - still doing the same thing. Obviously power there, just not starting. Sat there for a bit cursing myself for not going for the homestart option with my AA cover. Then thought to myself what have I done this morning that I don't normally? Answer: Plugged in phone! (normally get round to it half way down the M3) Took charger out of the socket, tried again and she started first time! Any one else experianced this?? Is it a warning sign that something else is going to go? Or just one of those strange quirks that we all learn to put up with!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted August 9, 2005 how strange.......what type of phone have you got then?...seems to be a bit of a power drainer?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigtunes 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Only a K700i - not quite the Dom Jolly style you've got there! . Wasn't even dead, just plugged it in to give it a top up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
