I was talking to an old work mate earlier and his mrs used to have a 308, and had a similar problem, says it was something to do with the compression, but its going into the garage tomorrow , she is planning on getting something new after christmas, so I have advised her to use it as a trade in and try and get as much as she can of her new car.
Yeah keep us updated as to what they find etc
Any update on garage report @grahamer67 ??

Still hasnt been picked up yet, was supposed to collect it yesterday at the latest, she now has one of our sons car until however long she needs it, he is using his work van for now, hopefully mechanic gets it today or tomorrow, even at that, god knows when he will get looking at it, on top of that there is new covid restrictions coming in over here next week, dont know what effect that will have.
Bloody hell good job she has access to another car then thank god.
But yeah our garage has still got a backlog of pre mot work and other servicing jobs to get through and thats on top of trying to keep up with demands for Mot's since the covid extension finished

Still sitting in our driveway mate, couldnt get a hold of him until yesterday, he said he was snowed under, he has a few men off sick, one of my sons is going to ask his mechanic if he can book it in, so hopefully get somewhere with it this week.

put the car in gear and rock it with the hand break off and see if the auxillary belt moves too see if the engine has seized up or not, signs of a clicking starter is either, seized engine, bad battery, bad starter or bad earth, if aux belt moves disconnect earth terminal from battery and put a jump lead from the earth on the battery too the engine and try and start engine then and see what happens. if the engine starts you have a bad earth
