14ish months ago i got a profesional installer to put in a rhino alarm, Aus standards, took him 3 ish hours to install it, it has worked fine for 14motnhs but it has now stuffed up. It came with central locking but he recons he had to install another central locking mechanism to get the passenger door to lock and unlock simultaneously....

anyway this guy dissapeared a long time ago and ive been chasing him on and off (half heartedly) for a year trying to get an insurance certificate for the alarm with no success. The well know import car mob who i paid and they sub contracted have no idea where hes gone but they recon he has just dissapeared...

Symptoms:

Press lock on the keypad and the locks click but they dont lock.

the cabin light used to turn off after locking and arming the alarm but now it stays on (coincidence???)

at first i noticed only the drivers door wouldnt lock and i could manually lock it with the key or by hand from inside the car, the passenger door originally had no such problems, but now both doors don't lock and cannot even manually lock the car....

The alarm still works, it arms fine, and when you trip the alarm it still sirens.... dont know if imobiliser still works but looks like it still might seeing as the alarm is still working.

what to do????

What sounds to be the fault???

anyone in sydney?

    • Any difference in induction noise?
    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
