i got it all fixed about a week ago. The only thing i need to do is make a round bit of metal to go over the lock mechanism so u cant stick things in it... they were not sure how i wanted it to look so they just tidied up the buggered lock and left it for me to sort out.

door & handle look like new now... all the little scratches that appear over the years are gone now. be nice to paint the whole car :D

MY Commondore was boken into near Therbaton a while ago, they broke the entire door handle off the drivers side, bent the metal back like yours, put a screw driver or something through the boot lock damaged the boot and so on. The repair cost was $1125 for everything that needed to be done, and during the repair I had them remove the boot lock and replace my boot end with one from a VX (no key lock), and remove the locking mechanism from the drivers door so the car is now entirely remote.

I assume my car will be broken into every time I drive it, if I come back and it hasn't been, it's a bonus. The place is full of motherf*&kers. I park in TTP al the time and have not been broken into there, was hit in the passenger side with a trolley which must have been intentional as it left a lot of small dents and scratches though.

this idea with the alarm addition in the door handle, whats it supposed to do? set the alarm off if someone lifts the handle? or if someone levers the whole handle out? if its the latter.. then if they have levered the handle out, you can basically assume theyd be getting into the car... and to do that they have to open the door once unlocked which would trip the alarm anyhow. am i missing something?

the sooner the alarm goes off the better, no? if the alarm started blazing after a theif had only JUST lifted the handle from the body, i would assume that about 30 seconds or so would be needed to remove the entire handle and find the door lever mechanism. that would feel like a LONG 30 seconds with an alarm going off in your face.

In most cases, the alarm wouldnt go off until the door is wide open and the thief is already in your car. from that moment, only 10 to 15 seconds are needed to grab wateva he/she wants or to do a quick search-and-grab.

in the end, you can never have enough security, even if this may be taking things a little too far.

on the other hand, if someone was going to break into your car to steal something they can see through the window, most of the time they just smash the window, grab your gear and run.

realistically, none of our cars are safe. even though some, like myself, keep their cars securely garaged when not in use, i can recall a few times when ive had to lose sight of my car for a while in public places. and a few seconds is all someone needs, be it with a screwdriver, hammer, or body filler .

someone broke into my mates 200sx in upark in rundle street...the alarm was going off for ages and when they came back to the car they saw someone looking through the boot....so they chased him bashed the shit out of him and waited for the cops we rekon its also tied in with one of the wreckers that might have told him about cos they saw the guy from the wreckers and he said your car might get brocken into tonight laughed then said he was joking...THEn a few weeks later we saw the both of em together at a club we were gonna fark em up but this was during him being charged so my mate thought that if we bash him again it might fark up the court shit.....the wreckers im talking about is Pulsar special.........ill leave the rest for you to figure out

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A nameless Adelaide car audio joint was also busted providing the names addresses and security information on cars to less noble members of society immediately after car alarms were installed, resulting in regular breakins in the weeks afterward, it was only once they started breaking into cars the same night the alarm was installed that they were busted.

Funny thing is he is like a big kid.

He enjoys his self so much doing it, as he looks back with a silly look on his face saying look Dad. Lol...

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
