Morning yall. Not a good 1 though.

So im lying in bed last nite and i hear a car alarm go off. I figure since the4 parents have friends around its gonna be one of them drunkenly stuffing up and making theirs go off.

I get up in the morning and hit the immobiliser when the key is in theon position as u usually do. The engine cranks over but it wont fire :confused: i look at the little batt, parkbrake lights etc and they are all off. The imobiliser is clicking on and off indicators flashing but no dice. I keep cranking it like the moron i am then get out, the fuse in the immobiliser is fine. I disconnect the batt and push the brake for a bit which only reset my clock and didnt do much else.

Any ideas cause i hate paying sparkys

i want pillar mount .... you know the one that fits on the pillar in nice casing ...... i dont want this huge dial sticking out in the middle of god knows where ...... one like yours paul.

But also saying that i dont want to spend a ridiculous amount on a phucking gauge!

Damn Boosty!! ;)

Paul no rush - might as well leave it til i get the veilside on and the car is once again fulltime mine!! and no i havent seriously started job hunting yet.

Aidiwn ..... you need intercooler etc to safely crank up the Boost .... which i dont have .......yet ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
