I discovered today that my 2008 Ford Galaxy has a power sounder.

When I started (and stopped) driving it 5 years ago I think I noticed a lack of sound on locking and unlocking and when the alarm was triggered but didn't have time to investigate.

Coincidentally I bought a bluetooth OBD2 adapter and used 'Forscan Lite' to check for DTCs but didn't find anything obviously worrying at the time (I was particularly worried about the 6 speed DSG gearbox)

Now that it has been brought back from the dead and is being driven regularly the "service security alarm soon" messages were starting to worry me so I bought another adapter (from Amazon), plugged it in and.............. nothing. No lights, no bluetooth to pair with. bugger. assumed that it was DOA.

Had another look this morning and couldn't find any power at the OBD2 socket. Digging around on the internet it appears that the OBD2 socket either shares a fuse with the cigarette lighter or maybe the power sounder.

Need to find the fuse box and/or the power sounder now. Feeling rather glad that Ford had the sense to fit a fuse in the circuit (unlike VX).

The envelope story is just jobsworth madness.

I sort of get the second one. That has been the case for holiday beaches in some European countries for a while. Tourists went to the trouble of taking the equivalent of a jam jar full home as a reminder. If everyone did it then there wouldn’t be a beach left in some places! Having said that I am guilty as we have a part of our hacienda with keepsakes from our trips. Yesterday I took two sea shells off El Rompido beach……….

You environmental vandal you. 

 

I have never been so disinterested in an election, so much so I am actively avoiding news and reports on it!

No confidence in any of them, Roland Rat is a muppet and I would not trust Starmer to sweep my drive.

Precisely my feelings too.

Anyway....................Im back in work friday night where I can insoect it under an illuminated magnifier, so shall take a look at it then.

Is that like throwing them in a bowl with other people's keys?

That's how it broke in the first place. 

Angela Rayner has been "cleared by the Police of any wrongdoing over her housing arrangements.
Must have been the same policw who cleared Starmer for breaking lockdown rules.
More importantly, thee ginger slapper was caught on camera in the last few days, speaking to Muslim elders and told them that "once we are in Govt. we will recognise the state of Palestine !

The 'Muslim vote' handed Starmer a document with 18 demands saying, if he didn't agree to implement them, they would put up candidates against Labour.
