Can't Open Bonnet Can't Start Car - Clifford Alarm

This is a long shot but perhaps someone knows. My car from Japan came with a clifford G5 alarm,

and the compliance shop can (they said) unlock/lock arm/disarm it etc, but the problem is the hood

(bonnet) release lever is not connected, and he said the engine hood has a solenoid. They can't open it.

Also, the car doesn't start, it cranks but doesn't catch. The battery was flat when it arrived but that

has been fixed, obviously.

At this point they are stuck and I don't want them to break anything to open the bonnet. Anyone

know anything we may have missed? Can an engine scan tool be attached anyway without access

to the engine bay (just to see why it doesn't start?)

nissan consult can be used from teh cabin if you ca get a hold of it

check for error codes from the std ECU - search

without knowing how the popper on teh bonnet is hooked up, its hard to suggest anything other than try to get power to it manually.

is the car in brisbane?

if so I'll sort it for you. G5 isn't that bad to work on. if the car wont start there is a good chance the alarm is on and it has cut the fuel.

I did a 34 NUR today. nice car.

We got it figured it turned out to be double-click clifford button then hold down unlock or something complicated like that..

but the car still doesn't catch, so now the guy is gonna try the scan tool on the port.. hopefully the computer says something..

If he can't get it today I may take you up on that (I'll pay) its in brisbane. Not a nur, however, an r-tune.

I'm due to see the car on monday anyway. I'll tackle the rest of it then - ring me. I have a few options I'd like to go over with you regarding that car.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
