Sad to hear, hope everything turn out to be alright.

Wasn't there a case happened here in Melb, some guys lost their car and 6months later found what looks like their car's parts being sold on the trading post?

They came around with Under cover cops, pretended to buy the parts and turned out to be they were actually their car's parts and so these Middle East guys got caught.

This is such a well ORGANISED crime, if they ever happened to get away from what they just did, chance is we wont' even see the parts in Aust anymore, definately be over sea. If you think its hard to ship 6, 7 cars out of the country, think twice because remember how a Koren Ship sliped through, enter our water, got to Geelong without notice while trying to off load Heroin?

Anyway, just my thought.

Complete Bullshit!!!!!!

Disgusts me how someone can take a car like that have... Although the fact of the system being down indicates either someone inside or some serious organised professional to pull of a job like that..

as someone said all the work and time spent on making the cars what they were can never be replaced...

Hope they find the cars and not too much damage is done...

:S. i think alarms will be headed to GPS monitoring soon.

They have been for many years mate.

It costs less than 1k per year. Few mates of mine use it... and have as long as i've known them now, easily 4 years.

Theres more likely a snitch, one of the employees, or maybe a customer who really likes to hang out there alot. No pointing fingers though, just a hunch. Really feel sorry for the people whos cars where stolen, what i dont get though wasnt there any cameras in the workshop? or atleast alarm system?

We have them in our cars, the only on-going cost $9 per month for the sim-card, the other one no cost unless calls are made .

It uses GPS to lacate the car and GSM to call you, if it moves, someone opens the door, starts it , cuts the main battery or even low battery ( bellow a pre set volt value).

Much better system that QT as it has unlimited cover as long as it is above ground ..

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
