I have 3 baby magpies that love to fly between a window of a shop and the drivers window of my car. When its wet i end up with 5000x footprints all over the roof and down my back window.

I got the local cop station to take some samples of the foot prints but they are yet to get back to me on which magpie it is. :bahaha:

dont get a car cover. i had one and it didnt stop the cats. all it did was make them slip all over ther place when they jumped off and scratched the car 10 times worse. I like your idea Turbo Tits, dog on bonnet, or I have a semi-automatic 12gauge shot gun you can borrow. :)

Pepper works a treat (the really powdery sort) but leaves dust on your car.

Don't put anything slippery on there... a friend of mine has a Boxster S and saw a cat sitting on his bonnet, yelled at it and it freaked, jumped up to ran away and slipped all over the place while it was trying to run away and scratched the shit out of his bonnet.

I have had this problem myself, several things you can do.

If its only one cat, get rid of it..........................

If you are a cat lover, do not read my previous sentence. Get a cat of your own. A big mean nasty tom cat. It will be boss cat, and keep other cats away. Give your cat a nice warm place to sleep, and it will not show any interest in your car at all.

A really bright light shining down on your car will discourage cats from sleeping there. It shines in their eyes, and they cannot lay on your nice warm bonnet and look around.

p.s Looks like the cats have been getting a little kinky on your bonnet rrroooowwwwr purrr purrr

if i saw a gang of cats having orgies on my bonnet id run for the hose. maybe wait in the bushes and when the time is right give them a good squirting with the hose, a couple goes of this should work nicely. They will associate them jumping on your car with being squirted and hopefully wont do it anymore. :D

just get a car cover...once some cat or some shit got on my bonnet might of jumped off a tree and set off the alarm...i ran outside ready to pound someone...looked around the car nothin weird then i checked the bonnect 3 10cm lines in differerent areas on the bonnet.. Oh well...now i park it only in the garage.

Just buy a dog... Few years ago, when I don't have dog, always have some cats go in my garden, even go into my house when I open the door. Since I have dog, no cat at all.... :)

Isnt a dog on your car worse than a cat on your car?

We had a cat problem on our cars a couple of years ago, and they crapped in the garden aswell. I don't agree with the way my dad did it but it was affective, we never had the problem again. (have dog, but it is chained up at nights so it doesn't run away)

Take 1 Bowl & fill with fresh milk.

Take 6 Panadol and crush into a fine powder.

Combine the powder with the milk and stir.

leave in desired location and wash bol clean in morning.

Never saw the cat(s) again....

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
