  1. Mall carparks give me the skitters too. I try and park between 2 really flash cars or well away from everyone. Also, coz i got kids i get to park in the "parents with prams" parks and they are so wide that even if someone opens their door fully it still won't touch the next car ;D But some of these woman in their soccer-mom people movers shouldn't be driving too ::)

    Hahaha i don't think so, they are only little kids, 2 and 3 years old and their car seats have stupid anchor ropes running to the rear of the boot too so that's gonna get in the way

    were any of the windows smashed??

    Na no windows were broken, but the monsoon shield above the back drivers side door was broken off for some reason.

    They smash the monsoon off so they can pull the window out, or stick something down the top. So they knew at least a little bit what they were doing.

    Ultrasonics will often trigger when people try this... but often they're at the front on the dash or top of the pillar which is why the mongrels go for the back windows. In a poobaru, consider installing them at the top of the b-pillars...

    Did your car have stickers on it saying what the alarm brand was?

    If you want some alarm 'forensics' PM me and I'll see if I can tell you how they did it.

    sorry this is a bit of a threadjack but we got an avs alarm installed recently and there are stickers on the back windows saying AVS and also calvotech (who did the install) is this bad? should i take them off?

  4. Yep i have been screwed over by a mechanic before. Sux to be a girl sometimes. I think i will re-train and open a girls-only garage :o We can fix cars in our bikinis and charge shit loads hahahahahaha

    Nah joking (about the bikinis).

    Damn mechanic put the additive in but said if it plays up again to take it back. The thing is it was under warantee from the car yard (30 days) so the car yard probably told the dude to do a cheap fix. Pisses me off and i hope i can wreck it again so they have to fix it properly before it's out of warantee >:(

    ill shoot the k**t that takes my car,i know alot of the car thieves around south auckland,if someones car gets stolen ill ask them and if it wasnt them ill get them to sniff around

    haha any cheap parts??!! :o 8) :P

    Nothing can stop a tow truck from stealing a car and your neighbours and witnesses will probably think its just another car getting towed. NEVER park at ST Lukes (auckland) for too long. ALOT of cars get broken into/stolen there for some reason.

    Never had an issue with the Impreza at St Lukes, but Silvia park puts the sh*ts up me :-\

    Yep same here. Some dumb ass drove into my caldina at sylvia park, left a big black paint scratch on the bumper. The stupid thing was they were still parked next to me when i came back to my car >:( quite obviously not the kinda people who would have insurance so i had to let it slide.

  7. Well i just went out to see if it was the tyres rubbing and i couldn't get it to shudder! I drove around and tried full lock in both directions and it was absolutely fine. Guess it's not the tyres. Would this solenoid thing be intermittant or would it fail every time?

    We only bought the car last weekend so i've contacted the car yard we got it from and they said to book it in with a mechanic in glenfield they deal with "Active automotive". So yeah, i will have to do that i rekon.
