So been out driving around in the 126 this morning. Parked up to have a mooch around a shop then got back in the car . Put the key in the ignition , turned it and the car would not start

I tried this several times and the starter was completely dead, not even a click

I paused for a while to have a think about what might be wrong

Then remembered that there was a funny lever on the tunnel in front of the hand brake , pulled it and "BROOM BROOM"

.

To make things worse I then started to talk to myself

.
I mainly said things like "You T**T"
