What really gets up my nose is that the same f*cking organisation can find time to bust you for doing 10k over the limit, but can't find the time to come out and do some REAL police work. As Gus said, we are treated like the crims all because we upset the cops comfort zone. I could go on and on but it would only be seen as a cop hate diatribe [as opposed to the truth about under performance and lack of service].

Ditto Dan the man...fcuked situation...Shoot to kill,I say!

Yeah, very true, even though nothing was stolen, ive still gotta buy and install a window, hassle i didnt need, specially around xmas.

the window was also tinted, so its gonna look weird for abit... will have to get all windows re-tinted to match up, was gonna get them re-tinted anyway i guess, but it sure wasnt on the top of my list...

Its a dead end situation what ever way you look at it Beau. If the cops had of come and taken prints and the guys were known felons the punishment wouldn't be much at all. They would be out of jail in a few months and probably try track your car down and do much worse then a broken window. If they were under aged then they would probably get off with a warning. And then if you yourself actually caught them and busted a few heads wide open it would be your azz going to jail.

Best thing you can do is get it fixed as cheap as possible and look for a better spot to park - or get a trunk monkey

Yuup had an accident with a semi, got his number plate details down as the asshole wouldnt pull over and thanks AFP and justcar good communication! nothing got nothing

Don't let them get away with this, it's too easy to pull the 'can't do anything card'. This is a clear case of unprofessional behaviour be it by the uniformed or non uniformed people in that agency. You have phone records to show the date and duration of calls, and you have a clear recollection of the conversation. If you behaved reasonably - only you and the person taking the call will know that for sure, and remember no one could blame you for showing frustration - I would not hesitate to report this in writing. Unfortunately it takes a bit of work but they must also reply to you in writing. When certain agencies and individuals either get misinformed or do not bother to find out what they are supposed to be doing it causes insult to injury. Given the circumstances in which people generally interact with this agency - usually when someone has been seriously aggrieved - they need to do a whole lot better.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
