The Dark Knight Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for the input on the fuses, I will have another look shortly. I take it they pull out easily by hand and don't require pliers or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm sure folk said they break in via the little window by the mirror. How the heck do they reach down to the flap and port from there. I'm lucky if I can get the flap open when in the car, never mind twisting arm in multiple directions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky if I can get the flap open when in the car, never mind twisting arm in multiple directions. I thought exactly the same, as when I was cleaning earlier... I thought how the heck can you reach the OBD via smashing the small corner window? I'd say it's pretty much impossible. Unless their elastic man/woman/thing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 That's it, all sorted. I might even paint a smiley face on the steering lock with a speech bubble that says "Better luck next time crims" Although, knowing my luck, I would just get a note through the door that says "We see your steering lock and missing fuse and raise you a tow truck!" :P 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah exactly. It's like the young boys at footie... I'll watch your car for 5 quid mister. See that big dog inside. I don't need anyone to watch it when Rex is in there. Hey Mr. Can your dog put out fires? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L22EEW Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 IMG_1966.JPG Anyone know if any of the empty slots are "Hot in start" (live when the ignition is turned on). Handy to know I suppose, I do have a circuit tester to hand... I'm not a wizz with electrics, but do have one of these to hand: (just wondering where to turn the dial for use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyinthenorth Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Dark Knight... I take it you've suffered no ill effects by pulling this fuse then? And as for towing - you can imagine a merc or a beemer being towed away and possibly split for parts. But not a 16 grand Fiesta really.

Shennas Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Effectively keyless systems leave the car unlocked and give access to OBI port without the Alarm being set off. The OBI port allows the car to have new key programmed etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJC Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 As far as access to the compartment which houses my ODB is concerned the problem seems to be solved as I am unable to open the compartment despite numerous attempts! Any ideas on how to do this without breaking the small hatch door or should I treat it as accidental additional security???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 My car is in for its first service on Wednesday. Should I put that fuse back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 My car is in for its first service on Wednesday. Should I put that fuse back in? Nope, no need to. My port is hidden, and they never rang me asking where the real port was. They will not need to touch the port, unless they carry out a diagnostic test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF11 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 After only 6 days the insurance have settled up - would highly recommend Elephant Car Insurance always able to speak to someone - very helpful. My son has decided after owning an ST for only 3 hours not to get another, he is going for something more low profile (fingers crossed)! a Focus 1.5 Ecoboost, and is wondering whether to get a steering lock for it. What does everyone think of them, and can anyone recommend one, have been looking at Disklok. Thanks for any help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
