She is a nag but she is always right!

[Gerrycan]

You know when that special someone in your life is a persistent nag, you can't ignore her because she just won't let the subject go and she is always right and just a bit insufferable?

Well it started with "Your key battery needs replacing", which I only did about 18 months ago and when I tested the one I took out then it was only just a fraction below the specified voltage so I thought I would not be rushed into it this time.
Of course everytime I get in the car to start there is the message, but I'm going to do it on my terms not hers.

So she raises the ante and gives me "The pressure in your front left tyre is low" as well, just to prove she cannot be ignored.
So I check the tyre and low and behold there is a screw, all nice and new and right in the middle!

Naturally I can't win this one so the spare is on and tomorrow the tyre goes in for repair (I think the fifth puncture on this set of tyres since new 37k ago) and I'll get a new key battery as well.

Just maybe she will shut up then. Lucky I still love her.

Hah thats funny
Yeah hard to argue with modern technology
Hopefully mine won't nag to much��

You can wedge a 2032 battery in there to give longer life than the factory one. I did that on ours and touch wood, its 18 months since and all good so far.

I'd like to drive mine more - we only have 22k on it in almost 3 years, but we live inner city and I ride a bike to work (just upgraded from a zx14 to a KTM 1290 super duke). I think since december last year (last service) we have done 4k.......

Your car nags you?

Damn, so glad mine are old tech.

No problem I bought a few batteries for a couple of dollars from the Reject Shop. So far so good .... and so cheap I can hardly feel cheated if the messages comeback early.

My interpretation of a bike is a bit different to yours though as the only comparison between myself and Valentino Rossi is our weight
For instance I was initially impressed in a recent conversation when a guy was telling how he had ridden about a thousand km over a four day tour only to realise he was not talking about cycling.

Well, my 06 Golf is currently flashing up on the MFD that it needs servicing NOW!

Hell, I didn't even realise it was on heat.

I don't recall ever replacing the batteries in my Mk2 RS, my parents have it now, and pretty sure both keyfobs are still alive. Going on 9 yrs old now. So far getting close to 18mths in my Mk3 on the originals with KESSY.

[Jondalar]

Both the batteries on my key fobs went flat within 2 weeks, MY16 with KESSY, car was only 18 mths from build. Fortunately I tried the spare and found it flat so had ordered batteries off ebay before the main went flat.
Never got any warning.

They often ask how close you keep the keys to where the car is. Our house is a long rectangle with the garage down the opposite end to where we keep both cars keys, and both have keyless entry.
