kingandyRaj's starter motor is apparenly in need of replacement (he was not starting; the battery was clearly working but there was no starter motor activity happening, so after a brief look for fuses - with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stsquad's help - I called the AA again). Cock. One wonders if it would not be worth buying a new car instead, at this point. Sadly this is not practicable, so I will be calling around Sunday-opening garages tomorrow.
Hopefully Raj will start so I can get him to the garage - apparently there is a likelihood that he will, but if not then I must get somebody to twist the key while I tap the starter motor with a hammer (to close the contacts or something). That, or push-start it.
