M35: Err F3

Can't you just fold down the rear seats to fit both dogs (that way they can both hang their heads out the windows)?

[iamhe77]

What's the go with the radios in these? I can't tune anything over 90.0 - aftermarket mod required here or a setting I haven't noticed?

Shouldn't need to.

Just tune and listen to identify the station, then assign it to a memory preset number.

Nope.. It never worked when they bought the car in from Japan, so why should they fix it for me...

if its a dealer they are obliged to repair problems. thats part of getting a dealer licence!

The shepherd is a security dog and when someone riles him up he'll redirect his frustration to my seats as he knows I won't release him (as I am obviously not there) unless he is caged. We rile him up intentionally at training and without fail if I leave my car with him in it some moron knocks on the window.

That and the Husky is aggressive so they can't be together.

Never thought of doing that.

I found where ABC local radio is and JJJ so I don't need any other stations but was curious.

Thanks.

Oh, that's strange.. Have bought two imports in two states, neither has had a working CD, but both had working radio and tape. Neither unit was fixed under warranty, but both cars had other items replaced such as milometer and items needed for Vic RWC.

maybe its a NSW thing. my car went back for small things, but the car was brought into the country like that. its a dealer warranty and in NSW its trouble for them if they dont fix things - within reason of course. and anything that is reported but not fixed and is still a problem. even outside that 3 months warranty they should fix it. thats the problem im having with where i got my car from. that said i only threatened legal problems for them and they backed down and have agreed to have a 3rd party repair the car.....

Welcome fellow povo pack owner

The guys I got it from actually said to me as I was taking it "If anything isn't working bring it back and we'll fix it" - I only just remembered, so I guess if I took it back they'll fix it regardless but like I said, mine was working when I took it as I listened to a cd on the way home.

as I have been saying run the thing past here! I fix them! (the radio.) as for the F3 code - laser or drive gear to laser or spindle motor. the all stuff up in some way shape or form. if its a warranty item with GS (and they cover it) tell them to send the car here and I'll fix it. easy. as for the FM band thats correct - 76.0-90.0. I'm working on a retuned solution for them but for now a band expander fixes it.

shoot me a PM if you do not follow or have a question

[Midol]

Thanks Chris.

I'll contact GS tonight/tomorrow and find out. I need you to install cruise control & an alarm into it in a few weeks so will hopefully get it done at the same time if they want to cover it and ditto to the band expander - I can get JJJ but I want ABC local radio which unfortunately is 90.3

[BoostdR]

Plenty of people on ebay fix this problem (very common) Most are in the USA though. Chris is all over it.

[Chris Rogers]

yep. have to be. too many of them come in dead. I'm working on a MP3 solution for them as well. mave the mech here for it - yet to find time to drop it under a 2613 (2004 V35 radio.) . forget 2003 as the whole thing is different.
