you have been lucky then.
mine started going wrong after picking it up on the way home the tyre went flat and it was pissing down. good job my mate was there to take the piss and tell me how the ford jack worked we were soaked.
just about to get on the motorway and it cut out coming on to the slip road, with the police behind me. they told me if it still here in an hour they would move it. after a while it started. nightmare
still that was five years ago ,should of seen it as a sign,i did read some where that what you pay for it you should keep the same back for running it.
