Yeah,

So i got my stag into the country, love it,and after a good wash and some turps and pepsol it was looking like new.

But to my amazement the 7" screen i saw in the pics was missing, and all that was left was a wiring loom and some velcro.

However after further looking on the car, i noticed there was a tv antenna, dvd player, usb extention , GPS processor, 6 stacker dvd/CD player and another wiring loom STILL in my car.

Checked under my seat to find the processor for the AVIC-D710 pioneer (Audio Visual Information -something or rather).

I mean, i know i got my own Aus version of this, but what the f**k is some prick warfy/auctioneer going to do with a 7" screen without the other 2,000 yens worth of gear still sitting in my f**king car..

makes me think that they have no idea and just see something shiny and easy to rip off and try to get a buck from it.

So even if i wanted to , i cant use the damn thing.

wankers..

apart from that yeah.. love my new car

Exactly the same thing happened to me, I dont get it. I think its just carelessness from the compliancers who have to remove them during the process, but either way its disgraceful. And there is nothing that can be done about it.

same thing. lost a pivot speed meter but still has all the wiring in the car, and an HKS turbo timer. Happens ALLLLLLLLL the time.... nothing to be done about it. only way around it is to pay your broker to have him get it pulled out and arranged to be sent via post, separate to your car. bit of money, but hey if it lets you keep the gear.... ive consoled myself by saying if i get an HKS timer and pivot speed meter, at least i wont have to wire the bastards up haha....

Same deal here, Turbo timer went walkies and they left the harness behind.

+1, Apexi pencil went, carefully unplugged - no damage, left black box & wiring so after replacing like for like I now have spare black box for future failure. Also some person took stereo head unit but all wiring, speakers etc in place still so I just got preferred head unit fitted by approved installers during compliance. Most likely woulda replaced (head unit) it anyway. Best thing you can hope for is no serious damage to panels, interior & like posted earlier if there is good stuff in car at auction get it removed & shipped by alternate means.

Cheers GW :)

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
