Hello all,
Just a quick one to say thanks for the advice about buying a Cerb.
I picked my new car up last night, and already have the Cerbera grin. It's a 4.2, Purple with Grey leather interior. The car used to belong to cerbielee - Thanks Lee for being a pleasure to do business with!
There are one or two little jobs to do, which I am looking forward to, and inevitably, I have a few questions...
First what happens if the battery goes flat? How are you supposed to get in the car? Lee showed me what he thinks is the 'secret' way - could somebody PM me with details?
Next - this is a stupid one I'm sure - how do you lock the car? The keyfob only seems to disable the imobiliser, and doesn't seem to set the alarm / lock the car - the manual says press the middle button on the fob - but there is only one button and it doesn't make the indicators flash (again as stated in the manual - I know I shouldn't believe the book but I can't help but read it!)
Finally (for now), the drivers door external entry button isn't working, but I think it's a dodgy connection and will be a fairly easy fix - are the allen key bolts round the edge of the door for taking the door pannel off? Is it as easy as it looks, or should I set aside *lots* of time for that job?
Thanks!

Welcome.
The "secret" way in ..... bring it along to a dealer / indie and get them to show you.
It can't be posted on here for obvious reasons.
The fob needs to be held for about 2 seconds to lock the car.
Try it again.
Then if that fails it's probably time to call on Carl Baker http://www.tvruk.tv/index.cfm
As for the button, I'm sure someone on here did that recently so a search should help you out there ..... or perhaps they'll see your post and reply.

Hello and welcome 
welcomeand what they all said too, enjoy, hope you get all your niggly bits sorted, but as soon as you do you'll probably get some more
but it will be worth it.make sure you keep posting on here, its a great place to find out whats going on where and if you have any problems too.
oh! and some pics of your new beast, I'm surprised its not been asked already , we can never have enough pics of cerberas on here
Yes that's it Amethyst pearl.. looks nice in the sunshine.. At least it will tomorrow when I give it a nice clean..
The doors and locks are going a bit bonkers at the moment with the interior light staying on and other mad stuff with the windows, but there's plenty of good adivce about that on here so I will be investigating over the weekend.
Funny thing today, driving home a Monaro pulled up behind me at some traffic lights - I haven't seen another one down here in the 2 years I have lived here. A Monaro was my plan 'B' if the Cerb hunt didn't go well. Anyway it was clear he wanted to race, but I pulled away gently (gotta look after that clutch), then gave it a little blast. He disappeared like he was in reverse. I am soooo glad I bought the Cerb - different class altogether.
