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.

yeah wil do current check when I get it back.

charger is 6 stage I think. will get battery checked this week, it's an odyssey just over a year old and I think it might be stuffed. farkin hope the alternator or start motor isn't killing it.

For a temp fix, try a plastic milk bottle cap, they're about the same size... little bit of electrical tape around the neck if it's a touch too big...

It doesn't hold pressure or anything since there's the overflow port next to it, so its just to stop it from sloshing about into your engine bay while cornering :P

There's two of the chinese places at knox city. I've been to one which isn't bad, it's in the short "Arm" of shops on the lower level, opposite the main food court. They do pants really well, cheap and fast too. And I've had a few dress shirts altered there as well.

Was just going through old pics and found this from back in 2008 or thereabouts. Me and my mate borrowed his older bro's Calais to go for a spin down to St Kilda beach (to try impress ladies, as you do when you're 18 :no: ) and couldn't figure out why the thing was so sluggish. Opened boot to find this:

Not sure if better or worse than cutties :S

Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

    • For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.
    • I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.
    • mines a bit too fresh of a build, need to put more km on it before im ballsy enough to go further
    • I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast. 
    • Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
