haha had to drive it with a sleeping bag covering it so rain wouldn't get in. (Very interesting looks from that)

The vacuum from all the glass is all scratched inside from the cyclone type bag less depository.

Can never see if its full now. Its quite stressful.

My mum's CLK does it all the time too, but their system is not as aggressive as Aston's. They stay within the confines of the car when they go off.

Still, very annoying as you can't use the roof when they go off and it's a bitch to get them back down, but at least it's free!

No i never found them sorry James.

By the time i got back from the airport there was a lot of people out seeing what happened with next door and others trying to clean it all up in the rain.

It would be hard to believe they be in one piece after something like that?

The general thoughts of the neighbours was that someone had bricked the car which is what i thought when i got the call on my way home. Strange little surprise.

Maybe that's why the Aston roof wouldn't go down. Precautionary measure before it lost its dice.

Just parked it out the front of the house.

God.... Damn... if you park a new DB9 Volante out on the street I'd love to see what you've got in the garage :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, sorry I didn't realise they were anti-roll bars. That's some vicious deployment. But twin NOS bottles in a DB9 would've been cool.

DB9 volantes have 2+2 seats right? What happens when the bars deploy with people in the back? Obviously AM have engineered for their safety as well, but from the photo it looks like they'd get a huge metal rod up their ass or something :down: lol

1. My car

2. The ROPS deploys behind the rear seat headrest

3. The roof wouldn't go down due to an electrical motor problem in the rear decklid BEFORE the ROPS deployment.

4. There were no computer activations of the ROPS - a mechanical latch failed

4. Aston Martin rear windows are NOT available as a spare part... only the roof as a whole

Drove through Toorak Rd today. Been a long time since last. Goddamn there were some good cars today...

Bright orange 911 GT3RS plates [RS911], White 911 Turbo plates [15].

Jag XKR, White R8, 2 Bentley Continentals, brunette chick driving M6.

white 911 is my boss, has heaps of the old plates, one stage we had 4 million dollars worth in the shop window, 15 i think is still for sale for $750,000

On Collins St near Spring St intersection tonight at 730 - Red Ferrari 430 parked behind a blue 612 Scaglietti (I think) with plates [480]. There were outside Nando's but kinda doubt that's where they ended up having dinner :D

Holy shizz... 4 mil worth of plates could buy me a 500 new Nissan Micras. I could start arguably the largest single-model Victorian car club right there :)

I think you mean Bourke.. they're always there at the 'mob cafe'... never actually noticed what it's really called :dry:

Some of Tony Mokbels friends hang out there

They always park in the loading zones..

It pays to be a criminal..

I think I saw James GT3 driving through Southbank yesterday at lunch.. certainly looked like his one

Oops, yeah it was Bourke.

Geez, didn't know the underworld was so.... well, exposed.

Thought they would be driving around in nondescript Mercs with tinted windows and armour plating.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
