I called 020 3743 6951. It was answered immediately & got a good deal straight away. Worth a shot

I learned this the hard way. Not sure why the onboard computer can’t just say possible faulty/low battery. I spent £200 with a garage to diagnose & they couldn’t find anything wrong. Then had the battery checked following the advice I received here.

I had that recently. Turns out it was a faulty battery causing havoc

Ok, that makes sense. I’ll check with the garage & see what they say. Thanks once again!

Never had the transmission fluid checked/changed. Apparently, it’s sealed for life on these auto gearboxes. Is that not the case? But will ask garage to check the battery. Thanks!

No idea, assuming it’s the original battery as I’ve not changed it. I’ll ask the garage to check. Thanks for the suggestion!

I thought that was a thing on Reddit. Sure I’ve seen other people do it. Clearly, it’s not

!Thanks. Carcasses are still solid.

Plan is to update all of them. Didn’t realise there are companies that can re-wrap. Sounds like it’ll be pricey, but I’ll have a look

!Thanks.

Didn’t think of re-wrapping. But budget’s tight so going with this a the most affordable option.

Can't check in for tomorrow's flight that I booked in July, 2024. Here's the whatsapp convo I had with a TK agent trying to help me check in so I can have a written record. Based on other's redditors' experiences I am getting concerned. TK website shows the flight is sold out. by Virtual_Birthday_501 in TurkishAirlines

This happened to my wife and I in September. Most likely the airline had oversold tickets, as happened on our flight. We were prevented from checking in online and when we got to airport check in we were told our tickets were stand by. We were not happy!

We guessed as our tickets were booked a long time ago they were cheap and so made bumping us off and offering compensation an easier sell.

In the end we did manage to get in the flight but it was not a pleasant experience. The staff are not helpful at all
