Sounds fun...

I'm putting tyres on mine on Saturday

actually came in before after doing one already, I'll have them all finished in a couple hours

Then going to redo them with silver paint instead of clearing the bare metal and having the same problem later on, masking them will be ever more fun

Trying to turn motor on the stand. spins around and something jams it against the stand.. that thing was my wrist.. fully dressed motor too.. wrist is all kinds of f**ked. Xray tomorrow. Who wants to give me a rub and tug?

Alarm key fob always keeps running out of battery, urgh. Will need to invest in some rechargeable or a stash of batteries now zzz

this plus every other electrical problem in my car.

re-connect battery after it goes dead in 2 weeks, alarm arms itself and you cant open any doors so gotta walk around the car for 15-20mins pressing the button to try and disable it. wish I could get removed, but brings down the premium :(

2 weeks... what else is there that's drawing power? you could test the current draw of the alarm / car with everything turned off

Since the battery has been dead before, it might have lessened capacity now... do you have a proper 3+ Stage Mains Plug-In Charger? Alternatively, you could buy one of those little solar panels which tickle charges when the car isn't running to keep it topped up :) Worked great for my dads old boat when we didn't go near it for a few months at a time.

Lol I've never come across an alarm that's ment to be good that has actually worked like it should!

I've had my siren literally explode battery's out of their holder twice which has caused it to be un-responsive to the key fob and the valet button inside.. I've had to cut the alarm out with a box cutter in the middle of the city to make it stop going off, I had it go off parked in my garage and it was unarmed which required I cut it out again to stop it.

Remote start neutral switch breaks every few months.. I could go on and on!

No wonder 'top of the range' viper alarms have lifetime warrantees, they break all the time.

You'll have to tell me what brand alarm to steer clear of when I get my next car!

Other week I'd discover that my 34 have a alarm and central locking when the guy I bought it off told me it's just a immobiliser :/

That was kinda handy.

Lol Grant, would do that but don't think it'll be such a good idea for Decca.

Eh, they'll be ok with duct tape, everyone knows it's the best thing ever.

Same here, battery in the siren exploded on my Viper, repaired under warranty. The USB rechargable fob is great though.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
