I've had my Blingo exactly a week today. When I picked her up she had half a tank of fuel, drove her last weekend and monday and saturday and still had a quarter of a tank, fantastic!
Today on a trip out with hubby and the kidlets, I find out my fuel gauge sensor is knocking on deaths door! Whilst doing 75mph down the bypass and after a brief shudder, I have no engine, nothing, apparently the fuel gauge is WRONG!!
After coasting to the side of the bypass, dragging the kidlets and hubby up the grass verge away from my Blingo, hubby phones for the AA.
After a 40 min wait in the cold the AA turn up and fix my Blingo. The cause.... well we aren't sure it's either a sticky sensor or contaminated fuel. Either way Eva (my Blingo) appears to be fine, however it did coast £140 for the AA to come and £70 to tank Eva.
A very expensive shopping trip, only went out to buy a £50 highchair :brickwall::brickwall::brickwall:
