Welcome to the world of Viper ownership.

Competition Car Insurance offer discounts for VOA UK members you also get (at no extra charge) up to 6 track days per year included smile

Check out ebay for battery chargers, Optimate, CTEK, trickle chargers are the way to go, just keep an eye on prices as they vary rather a lot. Plenty of good second hand ones out there smile

Both my Optimate chargers were 2nd hand off ebay and are working just fine smile

Enjoy your new ride.

Standard exhaust is now back on the car, I only drove home 1 mile last night so not much chance to give a report yet. The Corsa exhaust was stupidly loud (or am I too old!) when I got the car, but on removing the sill covers the exhaust joints were loose, so that probably made it worse.

The sensors are now connected correctly, and the plug-in gizmo's to fool the MIL have been removed.

Codes have been deleted, hopefully they won't return.

I may need to do a bit more adjustment as the exhaust outlets are not very central to the sill cover.

Anyone want a Corsa exhaust before I stick it on a well known auction site, if so let me know? I've got a receipt for $1200 but not sure what it is worth.

I think I am !! I'm now (very slightly) closer to my telegram from Liz (although it will probably be Kate by then) than the day I was born.

Here's a couple of pics, the gizmo's have little lights on them so you could use them instead of neons at car cruises!!!!

I'm not sure if they are doing their job as my car had the P0138 and P0158 codes. I have given first refusal of the exhaust, so they may be spoken for.
