When I left the doctor's yesterday, my car's panel displayed a battery warning light. When I got back to work I booked my car into the garage for 8:00am the following morning [today - Tuesday].
However, my car failed to start this morning and required a jump start using my wife's car. This delayed matters and my 8:00am plan went a bit to pot. Jessica also needing feeding and Abbie needed to get to her Mum's too.
So, I drove to the garage with no rev counter, speedo, ABS etc. due to poor battey power. Made it though! Abbie later picked me up after going to her Mum's who fed Jessica on our behalf. What a morning!
This meant that I was in work late and only had 40 minutes for lunch, so I went for a walk for exactly that length of time, walking about 2.5 miles.
Oh yes, my alternator had become so faulty that it had melted! It had also caused damage to the battery. £267 lighter, my car is working again...
Start: 2:37 pm
Time: 39:42
Distance: about 2.5 miles
Heart rate: HRavg 85, HRmax 100, and 178kcals

Mike,
Whenever I have a problem with my car my heart sinks as I know im going to have to shell out money on the thing.
Sounds like you had a hectic day. That walk was probably a nice relaxing bit of exercise compared to your normal speedy outings.
£267 for alternator and battery!!!
