hopefully not too woosted on friday arvo.. will check it then..

a mate from work said he got an alarm system put in his car as a package deal for $400. it was equiped with a cyclops alarm system with black wires? and will be able to get central locking on the keyring

hey mate u can have four low beams and then the middle highbeams but u'll have to change the globes in the middle lights to ones that incorperate lows and highs, thats all. if thats not possible u could buy new lights that are the same size that allow that.
cheers brenton

ok, ive taken the plastic guard off and can see the fuses clearly.. i checked the fuse that says interior light/cigarette lighter and i think dash light.. it seems fine also, the lighter and dash work fine.

i cant see one for central locking nor one that refers to doors.. any ideas?

i filled the wipers up but it doesnt seem to be pumping.. the fuse is obviously fine as the wipers work.. everything seems plugged in..

there also seems to be alot of square fuses.. like 2cm² that arent present?? dont need any of these?

You have npt put the interior light back together properly. Take it out and try it whilst it is hanging down until you get power and it lights up.

The Central locking is a vacuum system, not electronic. Which door did your girl push down manually? Pull it back up from inside the car, I reckon they are out of kilter or something. I only ever used the drivers lock as long as I had the car and the CL always worked perfectly.

[Rednut]

it only worked from the drivers side according to nat.. which i kinda confirmed.. amz pushed the drivers side down..which i pulled back up.. i'm getting it serviced by a family friend so i'll be cheap and hopefully get all the little nooks and crannys sorted..

the front left wheel locks up heaps too.. when breaking.. could be dangerous in the wet, will have to get that checked too.. amz' old man reakons the rattleing is a timing issue which can hopefully be resolved by the service..

back to playing..

cheers

You silver tounged devil! Good work.

Light looks ok to me, get a bulb and holder with two bare ends on the wires and put em into the connector to test for power. The black one is earth, so one of the others should be constant + and the other switched. If you have power at the connector and it doesnt work, either the thing is not together right, or the bulb is gone. Try jiggling the bits of metal where the switch joins the unit, or jam the wire in there, could be the dodgy connection.

A different Peter is leaving us I think, Peter J G, not Pete Jones. Peter Jones is alive and well in Melbourne I hope, just a bit quiet recently mate?

Rednut, I pressed edit, not quote. DOH. Please repost the pics.

[Rednut]

meh.. i'll do it later

just called nrma to get a quote over the phone.. $680 seems a little low for comprehensive for her?? ah well. if its there error.,, too bad.. hehehe

just car want $2700 for comprehensive... NO CHANCE BUDDY!

should i still try shannons.. or will they have a figure clsoe to just car?

[Golf Loon]

Is the comprehensive with an agreed value? or do they send an asessor round if you total her? And who gets the salvage rights of the wreck? All policies are not created equal.

[DVR68U]

ive always been impressed with shannons for my aircooled stuff. they might be able to do a good deal because of the age of the jetta. but u do get the salvage rights and all the goodies.

another question.. the freakin blinker light on the dash is constantly on.. and when ya put the blinkers on.. or the hazards.. the light just goes brighter.. and the blinkers dont work.. any ideas? had heaps of ****ty people tonight..cause i didnt realise they werent workin :/
