<p>I'm surprised you can't even push an automatic car just to the side of the road though, in neutral gear. I'm sure I had to do that with my cars in the past and I've driven automatic for years. But they were perhaps more 'analogue' vehicles...</p>
<p>Seems you can now unlock cars by phone from across London - my friend's son did it so that she could put in a permit.</p>

<p>If you read above, Pam, someone has written that the vehicle couldn’t be moved since it’s automatic. I guess since the RAC were called, they will have advised on this matter. </p>

<p>I had a costly experience jump starting a neighbours car a couple of years back, dislodged a hose causing a leak in our engine bay.</p>
<p>The AA guy that came out told me NEVER to jump start a car - a power surge can ruin all the electrics apparently, he said it's relatively rare but can cause a lot of damage. He said best off calling them out - they don't mind. Is a shame - as is a nice neighbourly thing to be able to do. </p>
<p>Hope you manage to get yours fixed up Andrew.</p>

<p>Many apologies to all for this - it’s my car.</p>
<p>Just another local - summed up the situation pretty well.</p>
<p>The latest update it that the AA have assured me (not holding my breath) that tthey’re defiantly sending the right vehicle that can do a full crane lift, between 1230-1330 today (Sunday).</p>
