    Nope. The car is called Sandy because it (she*) is.
    Never watched spongebob before

    A friend of mine's dad owned one of these in red (it was a 2000 year model too - a UK W- plate) but it was part exchanged and scrapped for a 2012 Seat Ibiza Estate in 2014 because the gearbox was disintegrating. (The car is a Renault Megane btw, for people who don't know)

    Good news!
    After further inspection of the car we noticed that both battery terminal connectors were cracked!
    The battery was also not holding it's charge, we tested the alternator and it was fine.

    Getting a new battery tomorrow, it's in an awkward location though so it's gonna take a bit of work and a lot of stuff being removed.

    an auxiliary port and CD player! ;)
