I woke up early this morning to 2 young bastards trying to steal my car. The half pushed it out the driveway got the car stuck against a wall and i heard them trying to start the car but they could not find the kill switch! And they busted up my ignition barrel!

This time i am prepared for them! They busted my car, next i bust them!! hahahaha

As i was putting on my pants my girlfriend ran out and said what the f**k are you doing? and they replied what the f**k are you doing? By the time i ran out they were running down the street and by the time i got to the corner they sped off in their car. Next time i'll be running out naked! I'll be putting an alarm in also! They knew they were caught but continued to try to start the car so they were pretty keen on taking it. This happened in Mitcham, if anyone knows anything send me a PM!

Whoa thats getting a bit to close to home, i used to live in Highgate and never have had any issues or never heard of anyone having problems in the Mitcham area :P, i hope your cars not too busted asides the ignition, but yeah def get an alarm and even a clublock helps to just as a bit of a visual deterrent .

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
