These things come in threes...

Had my first breakdown in 4 years this morning.

Of course it wasn't the car, but the 'Sigma' immobiliser...

But that's my second tale of woe:

1) Filled up with fuel, pump cut off didn't operate...geyser of unleaded all over the boot + contents. Great.

2) Immobiliser won't deactivate. Spend 1/2 hour on forecourt bypassing fuel pump immobiliser circuit, forget start also immobilised. Spend 1/2 hour bypassing starter immobiliser, Griff raors into life with half the loom in the passenger footwell and half the dashboard on the passenger seat.

3) Replace bonnet stay and bonnet stay clip breaks. Arse!

Thanks to the Chim owner who offered help.

What's the source for those pastic bonnet stay clips?

At least you had it out! Is that the first time you've turned the key since the Growl?
1. A bad workman ... yada yada yada.
2. Call Carl.
3. Trivial.
I hope everything else is well mate.

BTW Ben, here are the polaroids I took - they didn't come out too well I'm afraid ...

Cheeky arse LG!

It's at least the third time I've used it since the Growl
