1 - I certainly hope that was insured.

2 - Was it caught on camera?????

3 - How was it stolen???

Hopefully your mate won't get any crap from the insurance company after only having it for a month. Can't promise anything, but will be on the lookout anyway.

He ran into the petrol station to get ciggies and left the car running (key in ignition).

Camera missed it as it was out of the angle of the shot.

Apparently some whjite commo plate MH sumfin had something to do with it.

Another reason turbo timers are good :cheers:

do insurance companies pay out if your car is stolen with the keys left in the ignition tho?

Hmm, god point................Like I said good luck with them. Chances are the car will be found dumped somewhere, because to me this just seems like a crime of opportunity for whoever stole it.

I thought about this in the afternoon, some things to look out for about the car if it has been stripped:

The hks sqv is bolt on, so unless these people have someone to sell it to look out for a "hks sqv bov, near new condition!!" advertised in the quokka. Also anything else of value that can be taken off the car.

If the car had rims, also look out for these. If your friend imported the car & registered it, or the person he bought it off did, try and get hold of the tire serial number. I believe these are written down when it is registered, but that could only be for the stock 16" rims, and if they are another size then maybe not.

If that helps, then you can arrange to meet this person to inspect the rims (as they would most likely be sold with the tires in this situation), and if the number matches, enter the police. Booyeah, caught red handed. Would go a long way to getting the car back.

Well that was f****** bright wasn't it. Wouldn't mind betting the insurance company tell him to take a hike. You will find that under the circumstances, most insurance companies would not pay out for that kind of neglect.

Lets hope he gets it back in good order so he don't have to make a claim and perhaps he might have learnt a lesson out of this one.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
