I’m paying £450 a month for a #Peugeot #EV I can’t drive
The #car lease company won’t rescind my contract because it says the #vehicle is driveable.
The only problem is, it won’t even charge and hasn’t for 2 months

Got my sunroof drainage tubes cleared on my 2009 Jetta. Once the next rain comes, I'll verify and from there move on to repairing some rust that was a result of the drainage clog. This wonderful inline 5cyl engine, recently passing 186k mi and not even at it's prime, will go 500k+ mi, and it's been owned free and clear for 5 years with minimal repair. I love repairing things, so wish me luck!
One big incentive: while this car has a computer on it, it's functionality is minimal. As far as I know, the extent of it is essentially warning light processing (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Chapter V TROUBLES - HOW TO AVOID AND TO MEND THEM
Miss Levitt gives every mechanical problem an easy fix, from using your hairpin to unstop a choked carburetor to your hankie to strain water droplets out of gasoline. However, “It *is* possible for a woman to repair a tyre, but I am sure I am correct in saying that not one woman in a thousand would want to ruin her hands in this way.”
Agreed.
