First 2 weeks have been immense. What a rush! Done over a 1000 miles so far and only used at weekends,weather permitting! (Pussy till i get used to her.)
Only got one alarm fob and no 16 digit code so arranged to get new Viper alarm fitted by Clifford today but Bl**dy indicators packed in on way into auto electricians this morning. Even after telling her last night after washing and polishing her that a nice man would be touching her in some intricate places, but alas she wasn't listening.
Anyone had this ,is the indicator/hazard thingy in boot generally reliable,easy to get a hold of ?
Only had her 2 weeks but WHAT A CAR!!!!!!
Very jealous of anyone using as a daily driver though, i'd never go to work or have to get up an hour earlier and take the scenic route!
Many thanks in advance.SVM

Douglas Valley have the control boxes in stock and do them for #75 plus vat and delivery. Thing is though, the components inside them are very simple, and you could easily refurbish the whole board with all new components for not much more than a tenner, or less if you know which bit has gone wrong. Its usually the relays inside that tend to wear out- I managed to pick up a new one at a local electrical shop for #2.50 that went straight into the footprint of the old relay. There was a thread I started about a week ago on this- I think I put the part numbers of the relays in that.

I wish I'd said some loving words to my tiv recently. Just yesterday the wiper button on the steering wheel decided to stop working and my MOT is on Saturday. Bugger. I hope they decide to be lenient!

That's where you went wrong, you see. The car knew that the experience would be more akin to a smear-test than a roman orgy (not that I'm implying your Cerb is *that* kind of car).
