My car will not start. Last night it was fine when I moved it from the main road to the public car park. This morning the engine turned over, but it would not fire. The garage across the road are snowed in (scuse pun) with work. They suggested pouring boiling water over the engine, so I used some hot water, but do good. Looks like I will have to wait for the garage to find time to look at it. Any ideas? The last time I had a car do this it was because the engine management unit had gone. This time I'm hoping it is the cold. It is a bit below zero here.
This may be related, but it has been stalling recently. On two occasions when I drove 20 miles to Bracknell, it stalled a few times when at lights, and lots of times when going round roundabouts, but only on the big dual carriageway through Bracknell, not near home. It has only once stalled elsewhere during several weeks. So I did wonder if there might be something odd about the dual carriageway through Bracknell ...
