So if you read my Business Trip thread, here’s the other thing that happened in Stafford Shell.

Petrol flap would not open. Now there’s a vapour lock bollocks thing it does that prevents you opening it immediately but that’s seconds. This was five minutes of swearing and a call to Assistance. At first I couldn’t find the manual release but then I did. Job done. Now, the flap release worked as soon as I tried it again. Then didn’t when I tried at home. Then did when I’d manually released it once.

So it’s that most annoying of all things: an intermittent fault. It will be guaranteed to never happen in the workshop no matter how many times I send it there.

You go and pee, your drink is so safe with me….

Other owners have said Mitsi won't pay unless they see it happen. Intermittent faults are the worst.
