When I first had my car the indicator fuse would randomly blow, put it down to a dodgey battery as when I changed it they stopped blowing fuses (and as you know they are a pita to change being a big person).

 

Only had the car back on the road 2 weeks, I've promised myself Ill use it more this year, I only did 1200 miles in 18 months... So decided to take the mrs to the trafford centre. On the way home the indicators decide to pop again :rolleyes: No bother I though, as I had a load of fuses from last time.

 

Got home and turned the car off, blipped the alarm fob and the alarm starts going off... Strange I thought so pressed again and nothing happened, just kept going off for about 5 mins. Central locking didn't work, neither did the button inside the car to manually put the code in. Took the battery off but the alarm has its own power source so just stood there like a pleb with all the neighbours moaning about the alarm :(

 

When it had finally shut up put the battery back on and tried to start but the imobilser must still be engaged and have no way of turning it off, so the car has been stuck since friday with all the little kids playing football, frisby and "lets see who can throw stones at one another" next to it.

 

Got an auto electrician who is probably going to shaft me coming to it tomorrow... Thank god it happened outside my house and not somewhere else.

 

It's a Cobra Cat 1 alarm btw
