hey guys

i have an alarm system that was installed before i bought

the car and i was just wondering if any1 knew how to

adjust the sensitivity on these things.

It has MAGICAR written on it.

At some stages even high winds or trees blowing near the car will set it off.

Cheers Adrian.....

hey mate, not sure if this will help or not, i had an alarm installed on my car and after a couple of months it seemed to go off for no reason, (strong wind, car going past it). I checked the pin sensor thingy under the bonnet,(senses that the bonnet is down), and it the nut on the bottom had come loose and must have been moving in the breeze, tighten it up in correct position and no more alarm going off for no reason. Hope this helps.

Cheers

Brad.

yep. though it could also be shock related as well. that will be under the dash on the column if you can find it

i checked under under the dash and found the black box.

i turned the screw both ways (max and min) but still sensitive.

anything else i can do.

cheers adrian....

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
