on the cossie..battrey drained itself and has been sat idle for a fortnight whilst turbo got replaced....

went to start it and the alarm wont stop blaring,the fob wont dis arm or even control the central locking even tried both electronic over ride keys and still nothing

any help appreciated.

 

What make alarm ?, battery drained in 2 weeks, I take it you have lots of extras on the alarm ?
Are you shutting all doors and holding bonnet switch down, or disconnecting to try arm/disarm first, is it going off as soon as battery connected if not just leave on charge for a while first.

My car was dead when I got back from holiday

Used key to open boot as it's the only lock that still works with the key, folded rear seat down, climbed inside car, exited through side door, pulled bonnet release, and turned the alarm siren off using the key thingy supplied for that purpose

Battery is charging now and I'll be back in business soon enough

 

thanks guys..problem solved,disconected the battery left it a while and hey presto it started working...lol

 

To save climbing in and out of the car through the boot, the boot light wire(live) can be used to charge battery as is permanent, as done this myself, as too much of a phat phuck to go climbing around cars, and doing a limbo dance under the rear strut!!
I would now use the tow bar lecks to recharge if needed, the ones I tow caravans with at 30mph everywhere ha ha!!

Wicked idea that one Tabs!!!

 

nice one tabs

 

Yeah...but not so sure about the caravan part

But you do have frequent strokes of genius

 

See I'm not just shit for brains!!
I found this out, out of necessity as my neighbour was watching for me to crawl around the car and get stuck, so she could piss herself laughing no doubt ha ha!!
