Guest Dick19666 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yesterday I bought a very nice p reg 1.8 ghia cab in imperial blue 44k miles and only 5 in the last 4 years. It has some form of alarm fault and when locked double or otherwise goes off ,went off twice last night and only 26 houses in the close and I'm not popular this morning as you can guess that's why I'm up now..LOL I cannot get a auto electrician out until Monday,is there anyone out there that can tell me how to make the alarm inop until Monday as my neighbours don't deserve another night like the last one... I understand this could be sensitive,so even by email would be a massive help as I can't leave it unlocked...my email if its the best option is Richardhewett@msn.com.. Any help would be a god send,thanx richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dick19666 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi Mark, Got this 1.8 ghia off my x father in law he had only done 400 miles last year and 44k in total he has had the car since it was a year old. It's has a few issues to resolve ie alarm,and some rust under the rear hood seal and a 10p scab where the rear spoiler the 4 led one was fitted,and fabric come away a little near side rear so spray glue for that I think. He put a years mot on it went through with no advisories and all the seals are solid and apparently the tester said its in realy great shape underneath. It's nice to drive and I want to preserve it in its original condition minus the tape player,it's got pasanger airbag and a weird tourneau cover that clips in all round. So will keep me busy for a while,I will get some pics up when I can... Thanks for the info will be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
