Found this handy mobile phone tracker. Just enter the country and phone number and watch while it finds it. Handy for checking up on the missus. :winky: http://www.themobiletracker.com/english/index.html

For those interested, as far as I know the change car symbol only works if you use the 3D maps rather than standard view. @ Robs lex: I just connect to tomtom home and its does the auto upgrades. However it doesnt update any maps, only certain functions. I think you have to pay for the "new" updated maps. HTH @ Stav: the x wing sounds good.

Not sure about garmin to be honest. The transit would look good. The option is endless. I was thinking of having superman flying lol.

I got the info from this site. http://ozpoi.com/howtocarsymbol.html

I was bored in work today so i decided to change that crappy blue position arrow on my tomtom one to something different. So now i have my car on screen. I know its been done before but i think its cool. heres some pics. PS. it looks better in person than from photos

Felt it was time to post some new pics of my Altezza as i hav'nt really posted any since i joined. Took advantage of the nice weather we are having and gave it a quick wash and used that new Auto Glym Aqua wax stuff. Gives good results considering the minimal effort involved. Anyways, just wanted to show it off aswell as my painted calipers. I painted them with Hammerite silver a good few months ago and they are still looking good. Oh and my little sat nav mod too. PS. Anybody any idea what exhaust it is. Was on the car when i got it. All it says on the tag is JASMA and a few numbers. Cheers, Darren

Thanks for the reply lads. Guess i will just have to wait and see on the day. I Understand what you mean Tel about parking. I heard a story once about some fool who forgot to put the hand brake on and the car went all over the place, smashing of other cars like a pinball machine. @Dave1, I am boarding ferry in Dublin port and getting off at holyhead and then back again.

I am planning a trip for next month and will be taking my car by ferry. My car is lowered, on springs not coilovers and I just want to know how handy it is getting on and off the boat. As it is the front bumper rubs the odd speed ramp so just like to know if anybody had any problems while driving on or off. Thanks Darren.

I will have a look there so. Cheers Einstein.

No I tried. The inner wire that is or should I say that should be soldered inside the pin is completely pulled out. And its not possible to solder that wire as it goes right to the end of the inside of the pin. If you understand what i mean.

Today I was trying to remove the aerial from the back of the headunit and I ended up pulling the wire completely off the plug. I tried to fix it but ended up messing up the plug. Can i buy a universal plug and put it on. Or will i need a whole new cable. I dont fancy having to run a new cable from the antenna to the radio. Cheers.

I have the full set. They were on my altezza when i got it :o and they were taken off straight away (no offence). Im not quite sure how you will stick them on your car as the sticky bit is obviously gone off them but they are yours if you want them. Dont want anything for them, they are just gathering dust anyway. Darren

Got it back today, finally. Had it diagnosed on Friday from a local place and code P1354 (Variable Valve Timing System) came up. I told him i recently got the timing belt changed and he said it might have slipped a tooth. So my bro stripped it down and it had in fact slipped a tooth. Job done it goes like a dream now.

Well it happens on mine at 120kph which is about 75mph and it keeps doing it, not just once or twice. Any way its going in tomorrow for a full check. Thanks for your reply mate.

Anyone ever suffer with this problem? Basically when i hit the 120kph+ mark my engine light flickers and ive no accelerating power. If i drive at anything less than this speed it is perfect. From take off its normal, there is no power loss and it flies up through the revs without missing a beat. Its just when i hit 120+ it goes bad. Its only started doing this since having some work done(had timing belt done and the throttle body was cleaned). I dont think its the maf sensor as it is only a few months old and doesnt look damaged. I am thinking it might be O2 sensor. Would this cause this? I have checked all connections and hoses but cant see anything out of place. I have reset the ecu and no joy, I have searched the net and didnt come up with much. I planned to try the trick with the paper clip to check for a fault code but there is no et1 slot in the diagnosis box. Any help would be great. Thanks
