Hi all,

Just bought a stagea from queensland and am currently getting it roadworthied in victoria which is a bitch. I had to get the window tint stripped off and since then the tv tuner has been stuffing up. The tuner is an 'ASUKA' which i think chook installed for the previous owner. The problem is that when ever i get and reception the screen starts scrolling from top to bottom and flickering. but as soon as i change to a hd station which it can recieve it stops the flashing thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Not to impressed with the tinters they though they should take a 4 km test run to test the tinting obviously and flatten the battery. grrrr.

Cheers

Sounds like a real Lemon! Haha (joke!) I'm sure Chook will chime in with some help for you.

Was the tint just the front windows? Can't see how that could possibly be connected to the TV issues...

funny thing is the car is bright yellow. they had to strip the whole car. i was told by the previous owner that the aerials were in the back window so im not sure if that could have anything to do with it.

They stripped the factory UV cut glass that passes compliance? go to a new workshop, and get the tint shop to fix your shit. IIRC, antenna is in one of the wagon area windows, I hope they didnt strip that.

there was tint on top of the uv glass which they got rid of.

Ok, yes I would be worried then. Sounds like they may have damaged one of the contacts on the window. You may need an auto elec or similar to confirm what has been damaged and where... They should have been much more careful! Sounds like they were more interested in taking the car for a spin though!

Damn that sounds like a lot more stuffing round and money. Hopefully the tinters will pay for it.

You had tint over the top of the UV-cut glass? Damn that must've been dark. I can hardly see in mine as it is!!

My first thoughts were "good luck getting rid of the 'tint' - its the actual colour of the glass".

In any case, I thought you could tint all side windows except the front ones as dark as you want? Maybe its different in VIC?

I know the radio antenna is in the rear window somewhere - I always thought it was built into the demister wiring there or somewhere in that vicinity...could be wrong though...there's also wiring in the back side windows on C34's too.

my mechanic talked to the tinters today. they said that they removed the tint by steam and no tools so that leads to a dead end. im gonna get an auto electrician to look at it soon. Unless someone on here can help.

With the tint on u would have to put ur face up to the glass to see through.

Off the topic a bit, i just had mine tinted, (ceramic not metal as not to block the window aerial reception), made it much cooler, talking to a few people, the privacy glass is not actually a tint, just a dye within the glass and being darker absorps heat and has not reflecting properties.

re the TV, there are 4 tv aerials, 1 each in side rear windows and 2 in back window, assuming these are ok, someone may have just fiddled with some settings, ie put it in PAL mode rather than NTSC.

try this:

tv on

press menu

press right x2

down x2

ok

down

then ok to scroll between NTSC PAL AND AUTO.

If that does anything check the country region, get to a good reception area and rescan the channels.

ps it will not receive any HD channels.

      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
