A Couple of Essential Workers

Wednesday night's visitors

 

Cheeky bastards....... Scary knowing they've been on your property.

I'm just going to get my keys from downstairs...... Night all

 

Dirty scumbags. As if pepe haven't got enough to worry about

Does this only work on keyless entry cars?

 

Yes. I didn't put it on as an option because I knew it would happen and I couldn't be arsed sticking the keys in a little bag every night.

Nextdoor has got the other one on CCTV trying to get trying to get the door open. Apparently they tried for about 3 minutes at the side of the car.

 

I've had to park mine in the next street as it's so busy at the minute. Keep expecting to find it sat on bricks with no wheels on

 

I see he had his mask on ,,,,,,,, not for covid19 ,,,,,,,, what an arsehole get a goose they make a racket when strangers are about

 

Wankers. What car is it? Need to add it to my list of desirable cars I can't own.

 

I keep my key in this on my bedside cabinet

 

Incased in metal prevents the key fob being read. My brother in law puts his key fob in foil and then in the microwave!

I bought a 4 pack of these (though its a 2 pack now) - dirt cheap and totally effective. Spare key lives in one and then I’ve one in the car that I use when out shopping or at a restaurant, etc. One I keep at work and the other is in my work overnight bag.

The car manufacturers should have been made to pay for all the insurance claims for stolen cars because of "key relaying". They tried to solve a problem that wasn't there and inadvertently created an even bigger problem. I understand that the problem has been solved on new cars now and the car categorically cannot be started without the key inside the car.

 

Charlie, do you know since when? My Nissan Qashqai is keyless (I hate it along with its electric handbrake) on an 18 plate.

 

I'm not sure exactly when things started to change but I believe a lot of keyless fobs now have motion sensing so they deactivate themselves once they've been motionless for a while. JLR vehicles use radio signals that can't be relayed and other manufacturers just give you the option of deactivating the system all together. Not sure about Nissan though mate.

 

I hate my electric handbrake too...

Don't know about you but I was looking forward to being a pensioner so I could make that loud ratchetty sound with it that all old people's cars make when they put it on...

 

Me too Lozy, plus driving around in my Honda Jazz not exceeding 15 MPH.

 

In 1st gear only don't forget...

unless you get on a dual carriageway then into 2nd

 

I was sceptical about the electric handbrake but I'm a convert now. On my Golf its fantastic, it does the hill hold faultlessly and it applies itself faultlessly when the ignition is turned off. Love it.

 

It's an M2 mate, I just need to hold onto it until next year.
