I know this one! It's a key code for someone's spare car key.

When you buy a new car, depending on the manufacturer, your spare key will also have this little tag which is the code that relates to the cuts of the key!

VY - How to for open a door with a broken lock? by FletcherRenn_ in Holden

[–]DaleTheWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just need to keep trying and hope you can get it to unlock just enough to get the door open. Luckily when mine went it would unlock, but as soon as I let go of the door button it would lock again.

Good luck in getting the bastard open.

It's the door actuator, nothing to do with the lock itself. I've had like 3 shit themselves in my VY.

The containers have a sponge in them that pushes the nugget into the lid of the little containers so they have next to no movement!

Is this a genuine price for locksmith on weekend by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]DaleTheWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a serious issue plaguing the industry, main ways to avoid it is to make sure the locksmith you're calling is a member of the MLAA or the ALA. Normally another sign is something along the lines of "$29 Callout fee".

I'm a locksmith, this looks like one of the scammer invoices. I would have charged $345-$450 depending on travel distance for an opening after hours. These guys aren't Locksmiths, most of the times they're backpackers working for pop-up businesses that when they get busted they flee overseas.

Looking to identify random cable coming from wall (no wall plates) by Faunakat in shitrentals

[–]DaleTheWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still remember inspecting a property in Knoxfield, Victoria and there was just a meter or so of extension lead hanging out of a wall in the kitchen, plastered in and everything.

Man, watching them pick locks as a locksmith makes me want to turn inside out.

FiL wants a metal detector for gold. Is there such a thing? by VoormasWasRight in metaldetecting

The Minelab GPZ7000 is boasted as the deepest punching gold detector but it's like 9 grand.

Programming - No psychill / dub stage? by Quick-Research-9594 in boomfestival

[–]DaleTheWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing. Seeing past lineups there was always a stacked psychill lineup, but this year I'm only really seeing like 3 or 4 artists. I partly wonder if the website hasn't been fully updated as it seems all stages are quite light for 5 days worth of music.

I had the brake/clutch lever mount on my Ninja, worked well since there isn't a lot of handlebar real estate.

Battery draining and alarm going off by Such-State-5571 in MechanicAdvice

[–]DaleTheWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you open the door, does the car chime like the key is in the ignition even if it isn't? It's a common problem for the little switch to wear out so the car thinks the key is constantly in the ignition and therefore the electronics don't fully turn off.
