Too primitive to take screen shot on what's on the screen on the phone?

 

If you have a V1 detector and keen have a look at the app.

 

I reckon my data will be pinched but have google maps as an underlay and can mark radar sites.

 

Even out here in the middle of b**f**k I have two sites which set the detector crazy so if I'm brave can mask them.

 

Same for the warning trailers on the side of the road, once I find their exact frequency they can be blocked aswell(maybe).

 

Was hoping to block the stupid adaptive cruise control for Toyota's from setting the detector off, time will tell.

 

Heap of other fancy bits but still doesn't beat the smart copper who leaves the detection to the last minute.

interesting situations... how often do you reckon you'll hit the brakes really hard when you see it going off? shock your patrons?

Old school I know, gave up on trying to take images with the dimmer mod.

 

Fuel press has saved me twice as nothing is plug and play despite what they say.

Changed oil in the work car today. Was pretty happy that the new mechanic didn't over tighten the sump nut and oil filter when he did them 5000ks ago. I made sure to over tighten both of them 🤣

Bowdens snow job, then 2 bucket wash with Bowden's Nanolicious Car Wash, then finnished her off with Bowdens happy ending 

 

this is just the beginning (snow job)

 

 

 

the other day I was extolling the brilliance of this daily and how it has operated flawlessly for the duration of my ownership

but there is one little niggly thing I forgot about

it eats battery's (had to replace it today)

I barely get 18 months out of one, and yes,  I buy the highest cranking amp one that will fit

the alternator is charging as it should,  I have checked it,  battery guys have checked it,  had a mechanic check it,   it checks out 

The car still starts ok, but the aircon circuit wont turn on if the battery is getting a bit low in the cranking department

and it still wont turn on if you drive down the street turning the aircon off and back on again (believe me I've tried this over and over)

it's almost as if the aircon circuit has communicated with the ECU telling the car that there is not enough juice in the battery so just forget about turning on the bloody aircon no matter what.

disconnecting the battery and reconnecting temporarily fixes the problem but new battery totally fixes it  (for about 18 months)
