^ I wouldn't do that under any circumstances, he must really have issues if it made you start that. Midnite33, as said just try talking it over with her, but otherwise call the cops & ask for advice of what to do. Explain the car situation to them & instead of being arseholes & making you get tested they should do their job & tell you what you're rights are.

you cannot talk to her like a normal person because she is mental,

I wish i knew how to convince a cop not to be an asshole and do their job properly.. HA !.. the world would be a better place...

I've had similiar instances before - sometimes people are just plain old bags that just want to make it harder for others.

The only hting you can do is to come up to her unit, knock on her door and ask for a descent personal chat. Be civilised and ask her what you can do to better accomodate her situation but also that she needs to understand you only have 1 car and if you park it off street then it would get vandalised etc - maybe come to a compromise by where you can only come home at a certain time, e.g. 1am or something - trust me, if you don't compromise with her, she's a old bat so she's got all the time in hell to make it harder for you - you do with next to her after all.

Good luck.

as if i'll have curfew because of some old F***, thats just a joke

With cops, in order to earn their respect you have to have 2 things - 1) speak to them politely and formally - 2) be firm and do not show fear nor act as if you've done something wrong...

One time I was searched by a cop - I firmly told him I know he's doing his job and respect this - however, as a citizen of Victoria and for that matter, of Australia, I have rights - for example, the cop can search my car in my presence and with my permission - he/she cannot force me to admit guilt with I do not concur and lastly, if they want to charge you with something or think you're guilty - they must tell you your rights and what charge, act, legislation they are referring to. If a copper does not show you common courtesy, then politely ask for for his badge number, his unit/station location etc. If he says you're being a smart arse or disrespecting him - firmly reiterate: "I am just exercising my civils rights - you are exusing me of something you feel is in your authority to do so - that's fine, and I am exercise my civil rights as to why I do not agree with you and therefore will take this matter up to the higher authorities instead of standing here and argueing with you."

Normally after the above, the officer should give you her badge numbers (as you have the right to request this) and contact details - OR, he may just CBF and say "ok, you can go now let's forget this."

Good luck.

Agreed... i mean i like to put my 2 cents in every now and then but spunky munky has chipped in at least $3K at SAU

A friend of mine lives as the end of a cul-de-sac (spelling?) and has loud friends coming and going at all hours to the extent that i'd be pissed of if i was a neighbour. One neighbour on the street always gets up him about it and they received a letter from the council saying limit the noise, and his mum went off and wrote a letter back to the council arguing their rights to come and go as they please etc. Never heard about it again.

I don't see how you could be told that you can't park there. When legally you are doing nothing wrong. But yeah if all else fails the make her life miserable idea is the go, sliding fart bombs under her door and calling her number at all hours of the morning etc. :dry: . . . . . . . . j/k

My cousins neighbors used to complain about our cars being loud etc, calling the cops all the time. This loon use to have a bowling green front lawn which she cut with scissors (i'm not joking). One night i backed my loud as hell old LJ GTR torry onto her prized lawn and tore it up. She got the message and quit hassling us after that. Ah to be a teenager again, those were the days.

You need to realise she is of veteran age. Probaly has a lot of problems sleeping, probaly has heart complaints, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Drop a note under her door and tell her you will try and get out/ in of the car park quickely and turn off engine quickely.

Shes old so give her a break. Probably has lived a shit life.

    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
