Whose Monaro in storage?

[RB CV8]

A car storage facility in Cambridgeshire not far from my home is looking after a red Monaro of some description. I haven't seen it, but they tell me it has APs and a loud exhaust - anyone here?

As of yesterday it has another family member for company over the winter months.

How much are you paying if you don't mind me asking?

[stigmundfreud]

no idea how much he is paying but I used rudler last year and it costs about 85pcm

How do they know it has a loud exhaust? 120mph handbrake slides and donuts on the road!?

PS: Stig if you are interested in a valet mode for your vxr8 let me know. Its software switchable from the v2.

Hells bells! That's more than I pay for a 3 car lock-up.



Just thought, I do pay all year round though, rather than for just a few months each year, so maybe it's not so bad.

The car storage bay I have in Stockport for another car is £44 a month outside, but the bays are long and you can (and people do) store trucks in them. It's absolutely heaving with caravans there so I like to readdress the balance

Might give you some idea on costs etc. Some places will even warm the engine up and roll the tyres every few weeks!

It will be roughly £85 per calendar month. The car will have a dust cover, they will be monitoring the battery, running the engine monthly and moving the car around (not driving on the road) to avoid flats on the tyres. They even said I can go and run it if I prefer.

I have used the firm before - at one stage they had three of mine & my brother's cars in there - and I am happy with them.

ARAF - if I could get a decent dry, secure three-car lock-up near my house I would have one! I advertised in the parish mag for months trying to rent a single or double garage but no-one responded. I did rent a small barn for a while but it was neither dry or secure enough for my liking and I gave it up.

I do have two garages at my house, but a couple of aged Vauxhalls live in them.

Well I'm guessing they heard it when the owner delivered it and it was driven into the unit... Or if the owner has opted for the 'exercise' programme, it will get taken out for a run periodically, dry roads permitting. So he/she would pay someone else to drive his/her car!

Am I right in thinking it cuts just fuel or is it ignition also? What happens if it gets accidently triggered at WOT?

[anonymous-user]

Here we go:

"CAUTION
The Valet mode RPM limiting uses fuel cut-off to limit the engine RPM, it does not use spark cut. It is not recommended to hold the engine on the RPM fuel cut for very long as the engine will run lean and may damage the engine and/or catalytic converters; use it sensibly.
The Valet mode must be activated in the calibration before the switch will have any effect.
Set:
• {A0011} PCM Input #1 Function: Valet Mode
• {A0012} Valet Mode Speed Limit with ETC: Desired speed limit
• {A0013} Valet Mode Speed Limit non ETC: Desired speed limit
• {B3324} Valet Mode RPM Upper Limit: Desired RPM upper limit
• {B3325} Valet Mode RPM Lower Limit: Desired RPM lower limit

"

not looked at it on this ecu but other options of speed limiter on the tune is spark, fuel, throttle. Where did you get your valet mode info? I'd probably do it on throttle which is currently what my speed limiter is set to do (safest method)
