My grandson suffered a blown headgasket on his Renault Espace that required the RAC to recover the car. They gave him a Skoda Citigo hire car to get him home. Next morning it was left outside the house opposite theirs and I was asked to move it to their house for collection after the family had gone to work in their own cars. I have well over 50 years experience in driving but I couldn't start that car though I tried all the usual things. Eventually, with my wife steering I pushed it across the avenue and almost into place. The avenue is on a slight hill and I was having to really strain to make headway. When I had almost got the car in place a roofer, who had been reroofing a house down the avenue, and thus with an 'overall view', kindly climbed down, came up the avenue and told me to push in both the brake and clutch pedals before turning the ignition key. Thank you, kind sir !
