Hi All,

I am stuck at work.. i think my m35 optional extra alarm is f*king up.. my car wont start all that i get is a couple of accessory lights..

No headlights.. the button on the key wont lock or unlock the doors.. something weird is going on..

i think it might have something to do with the AUTO button near the headlight adjustment dial (next to the drivers right knee)..

Anyone got any hints or tips? i am going to have to organise a toe if i cant work it out real soon!

please help!

thanks to all./

The "auto" button is the same as mine but it just prevents the wing mirrors from turning downwards when you are in reverse. "too slow, same as my car compared to scotts!"

The small aerial looking socket to the right is also the same as mine which came with a strange looking key which presses into it.

Apparently this is an immobiliser. Do you have a key ? Where are you located ?

i just thought of something else.. the thing is stuck in gear! anyone know how to tow these things when you cant shift em?

How does the "shift lock" thing work? can i tow by 2 wheels only while its in park?

How is it stuck in gear? Put the key in the ignition, turn it to accessories/on (But obviously not trying to crank it over), and then with your foot on the brake shift it into N?Your key will have to remain IN the car whilst it is in N. Once its on the back of a flatbed it can be put back into P & key out.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
