I sometimes think car technology has gone a bit far.
The Volvo decided to text me yesterday evening, saying that the alarm had been triggered, and would I like to go and reset it.
Given that I was best part of 300 miles away, that was unlikely to happen.
I phoned a neighbour, who was sitting overlooking my drive, and had seen and heard nothing, but said he'd 'phone me back if he found any issue (he didn't).
Given that the house alarm had also fired twice whilst we were away (false alarms) it wasn't the most settling. (and my alarm company are so overrun, they can't/won't send anybody out in the short term unless I get a fault showing :-( ).
We came back today as planned anyway, and my mood wasn't helped by WMV partially removing the motorhome door mirror on a (not-so-narrow) Devon road, and not stopping. I've dashcam footage, and though his wheels were right on the centre white line, his mirror was over my side. The long-arm mirrors on a Ducato are like elephant-ears, however, so, though I consider myself largely the innocent party, any stewards' enquiry is quite likely to come to the conclusion of a "racing incident". At first, I thought it was completely borked, and the thought of driving 300 miles home with no driver's side mirror and no rearwards through-vision was rather daunting, but a bit of duct tape got it functional enough.
Replacement isn't entirely straightforward, as my mirror has non-standard indicators, and a temperature sensor attached. Looks like I might be able to sort it for around £140 with aftermarket parts if I partially cannibalise the broken one, but it needs some of the motorhome internal trim removing as well in order to get at the fixings.
...and, from the alarm indicator, it looks like the car alarm was triggered at least once - hope it isn't the start of repeat problems.
(And the dealer still hasn't found the missing £500 - I suspect they're chasing me again for evidence in order to tidy half-year accounts - I've copied them the transaction slip, and the line from my CC statement showing it processed, so they'd best start looking down the back of the sofa :-) ).
