I was driving the company car back to office after attending a course in HQ. Seeing the fuel meter remaining only 1 bar, I decided to head to Shell kiosk at Damansara. I pump diesel until the tank was full. Then I start the engine. Oh my god, it wouldn't start. I was so scared, checking back whether I pumped petrol or diesel. Imagine what will happen if you've pumped petrol into a diesel vehicle, and it is a company car! But thank God I pump diesel. But still it wouldn't start eventhough I've tried many times.
So i called for backup. I asked for help from the pump attendant to push the vehicle to the side so as not to block the pump unit. 1 hour later, the mechanic came, and identified the problem. It was due to the immobilizer malfunction. According to him, usually an old Ford Ranger will have this kind of problem, especially when the engine gets heated up. The circuit will have some problem that triggers the device to be malfunction eventhough the key inserted was the original key!
He couldn't help much, So he called for a tow truck. Waited another 1 hour for the tow truck to come.
Basically I spent whole morning in HQ and whole afternoon waiting for the mechanic and tow truck to come. So you tell me, am I lucky or unlucky?
