fault found before leaving the vehicle

Marvo · Dec 10, 2012

Had a call recently from a very old friend saying he'd arrived home and some of his sockets and all the upstairs lights weren't working. I went around to have a look for him and managed to find the fault without getting out of my car.

Single point of supply one phase down.

The car was a BMW, lost control for no apparent reason, no other vehicles involved.

Not even started it yet. I haven't had even 1 hour spare yet plus I don't have the regs to reference with. I'm trying to find a pdf copy of the beloved UK regs on a download site so I'll at least be in with a fighting chance.

tbh you look at the state of the car, im suprised there isnt more damage to the building etc. it looks like its been rolled for the better part of a mile.

Just for fun I went to the complex security station and pulled the footage from the external gate cameras, the car seemed to leave the road and bounce off the perimeter wall for no apparent reason. After hitting the wall it started to roll end over end until it had gone past the camera. How on earth it got high enough to land where it did is still a mystery. I have the movie clip of the accident but it's around 3 megs in size which is too big to attach.
