Hello Bob,
Hope you are well? I love your perverse plan on car purchases! Are you planning to call the Smart car Lily, as in Lily the Pink?!! Or is that a bit too mainstream? Regards Kevin |

Here we go again..................
.......................................... and the AA were with me in just under 15 minutes. Driving Strawberry, on my way to get my Covid booster, and the engine just cut out. No warning at all. Tried to re-start. Nothing. Got the AA app on my phone. Filled out all the details, reply was help would be within the hour, but 15 minutes later and he was with me.
He tried everything, checked everything but nothing happened. Floor up to get to the battery. Tested and all ok. Engine cover off. Alternator, starter motor checked. Power was getting there. Got flat towed to the New Smart Car garage here in Saltash. And left Strawberry with them. Val very kindly collected me from the garage as it was raining hard.

Garage phoned.
Just had the garage on the phone. It would appear that the clutch actuator is at fault. Hopefully that is all that’s wrong. They have ordered a new one but not from Mercedes, they use another supplier but the part is not made in China either. So fingers crossed.

Collected Strawberry on the way home from a lovely day out. Wallet took a bashing. Thinking of asking Rev Jules for a handout.
