Has anyone noticed that these rats have been stealing only 32's and 33's???

When Brenton stupidly locked my keys in my car (dunno how you do that when it has centrel locking) the locksmith told me that 34's and 35's are the hardest to get into, not because of alarms or immobilisers but due to the internals of the lock; usually I'd think he was talking shit to get more money out of me however after spending ages trying to pick the lock, and getting several other people (some of which I know are quite good at picking locks) to try to pick the lock it still wouldn't budge.

Oh, did you ever get your Mrs car back?

32s are like as easy as a VN bogandore to get in to you dont even need to pick the lock. best thing to do is you no they can get in to it easy enough just make sure they cant start it ie kill switch but make it so it will turn over so it creates noise now if anyone hears a car keep turning over someones going to come looking at this car not starting to which it attracts unwanted attention to the would be thief but being bright orange i wouldnt expect to see this stolen it be like trying to hide an elephants cock in your pants no matter how hard you try its going to stick out a bit.

Hey Charles, i have also locked my keys in my 34 with the window down the smallest amount for the wind/rain guards to cover it. And it was extremely hard to get the car open once again. It took several hours with a lot of noise and effort to pull it off and even still i could not reach the actual internal release. I had to get the keys from the ignition (long story please dont ask how i got locked out) with a coat hanger and used my girlfriends necklace to weigh one side down for more accuracy and so the keys dont weigh to one side and slip off.

So yes i would agree 34's are extremely hard to get into. Have a nice sleep =p

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
