I'll take you up on that.. We'll go up the hampton esk road its nice and bendy :)

hahaha, haven't heard anything from Jason for a while now... must have been escorted out. :D

10 mins boys and the porn wasn't even on screen. God damn porn nazi's!!!!

weak.

In other news, i need a respray soon, anyone know some people that will do a good job for reasonable cash?

Going to go and pick it up shortly.

Really wish the idiots had have called me BEFORE they did any work though. Charging me $385 in labour because it took so long to try and track down a new unit for the fan... which they couldn't find, and wound up getting some holden unit, and that's another $80. If they had have just ASKED me, I would have said 'don't worry about it' bought one from the classifieds or wherever, and plugged it in myself. The fan wasn't even that much of an issue ffs.

Then they tell me a mechanic needs to do the reverse light. That my brake lights work fine (two witnesses say otherwise, as well as me braking outside a window at home every day) and that they've done nothing with the head unit or the alarm.

Not impressed. at all. Really pissed off would probably be a more appropriate description.

So don't anybody ever bother using Chermside Auto Electrical in Boothy Street at Kedron :D

Damn, thats Terrible!

What do they reckon is wrong with the reverse lights? I can't see any reason a mechanic would have to look at it, its ALL wiring except for the reverse switch, which is a switch on the side of the gearbox that takes 2 minutes to replace. Sounds like they just CBF.

What is wrong with the brake lights exactly?

As for the alarm, I'd be figuring out exactly what it does and doesn't do, and get whoever installed it for you to fix it for free.

Head unit... yeah, I guess we'll have to look at that further

Yea... Thats bs. I'm totally against people doing something without letting the owner know about it and then charging them for it. Its like "hey, your motor's f**ked and we swapped it with another 1 we have. That'll be 5 grand please." BS!

It's the reverse switch that is faulty apparently... telling me the gearbox has to be dropped to replace it (bs)

The brake light problem seems to be intermittent. Sometimes all four light up and the spoiler, sometimes the two centers lights up plus the spoiler, and sometimes just the two centers on their own.

The alarm doesn't go off when the boot/bonnet/or doors are opened (when armed) - and the turbo timer doesn't work one out of every ten times the car is turned off (usually when I really WANT it to turn on too).

and yeah, we'll have to investigate further with the head unit, and see if we can work out what's what.

oh, and on the way home the steering seemed to lose power. so that's probably the pump. GRRRRR!

Toowoomba... I'll be heading there this saturday!

Hope no trouble with the cops.

Make sure you don't park at chalk drive and make sure you do come to a complete stop at the top of the range or they'll get ya around the corner.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
