This is a long shot but perhaps someone knows. My car from Japan came with a clifford G5 alarm,

and the compliance shop can (they said) unlock/lock arm/disarm it etc, but the problem is the hood

(bonnet) release lever is not connected, and he said the engine hood has a solenoid. They can't open it.

Also, the car doesn't start, it cranks but doesn't catch. The battery was flat when it arrived but that

has been fixed, obviously.

At this point they are stuck and I don't want them to break anything to open the bonnet. Anyone

know anything we may have missed? Can an engine scan tool be attached anyway without access

to the engine bay (just to see why it doesn't start?)

nissan consult can be used from teh cabin if you ca get a hold of it

check for error codes from the std ECU - search

without knowing how the popper on teh bonnet is hooked up, its hard to suggest anything other than try to get power to it manually.

is the car in brisbane?

if so I'll sort it for you. G5 isn't that bad to work on. if the car wont start there is a good chance the alarm is on and it has cut the fuel.

I did a 34 NUR today. nice car.

We got it figured it turned out to be double-click clifford button then hold down unlock or something complicated like that..

but the car still doesn't catch, so now the guy is gonna try the scan tool on the port.. hopefully the computer says something..

If he can't get it today I may take you up on that (I'll pay) its in brisbane. Not a nur, however, an r-tune.

I'm due to see the car on monday anyway. I'll tackle the rest of it then - ring me. I have a few options I'd like to go over with you regarding that car.

      Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

      Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
