John Didn't think to pump the pedal (I'm not very bright!!) but will give that a try tomorrow. I know what you mean about garage space though. I have a pal who pushed his Jag into his new garage (It came with the new house, that's the garage not the Jag!!) because he could not open the doors far enough to get out when parked inside. Only trouble was he didn't have the strength to pull the car out again as the driveway sloped towards the garage. The Jag now sits on the driveway!!!
This is not a urban myth.....I pulled his car out with my Defender.
