I checked my battery again after I was pushing my newly fixed electric window up and down (after the window motor itself had slowed a bit) and it was sitting on a bit over 9v. It starts fine with a jump so it shouldn't be the starter should it? Pretty sure the batter is just wrecked, I don't know how old it is it's been in the car since I got it a bit over a year ago so it could be pretty old.

Where is that place in Moorabbin? I want to find a decent place to buy a battery that won't cost an arm and a leg.

I will find you the address tomorrow and let you know.I only work around the corner from it.

Beautiful cheers for that...I wonder if they're open on Sundays

Edit: I think I just found them online...Moorabbin Battery Centre? Surely that's them.

my hazards flash and the horn sounds continually, above the mirror is a object that has 2 like little speaker grills, that is the motion detector.

Check you battery with a multi tester if it goes below 12 volts after a couple cranks it probably needs replacement.

Have you gone a visited the seller of the Disco yet? and broken his legs , because the amount of problems you have had with that Disco, you must have a very calm demeanor , I would have gone around to his house and blown him up by now
As for the oil leak? if it is oil under the petrol tank that's a new one.
It must be petrol leaking, maybe the fill hose has perished?

As for cranking on LPG, I just fitted a new battery and mine fires first turn of the key, when the battery was going it would take a few revs of the engine before it would fire

How do I check if my alarm is connected to the horn? I remember a little while ago the alarm sounded when a friend of mine opened the tailgate without turning the alarm off first and it was only a really dull horn sound which I heard, even though my actual horn works really well and is loud. Since then the alarm hasn't gone off until the hazard lights the other night with the motion detectors and there was definitely no kind of horn sound.

This has answered a few questions for me about the alarms but I do have to ask this I have a 1997 SE7 did these come with remotes for central locking/alarm??? if so where do i get one. I'm to lazy to fix the rear door spring on the lock and have to goto the drivers door before i open the rear (pain in the butt when its pouring rain).. As i call it a blip blip would be so helpfull

Yep thats the place.The guy in there is really good.If you have the car there with you he even changes it for you while you wait.Its in Roberna St.

About you alarm.......Your siren is probably stuffed.Its located on the drivers side guard in the engine bay.You cant miss it.Mine was stuffed and started making really funny noises and then stopped altogether.I just bought a cheap one from Jaycar and does the job great.

Awesome thank you very much for all that info
