  1. Not sure about battery disconnect mate, may cause you more probs than you've got at the moment. Personnally I'd say get rid of the factory immobiliser, presumably the Clifford has one included. I've had more than 1 immobiliser & alarm system on a previous car (a hangover from previous owner having a couple of systems and me then getting a better one on but asking for the previous to still be left on there) and I had a major electrical problem related to 1 of the immobilisers kicking in but the auto electricians had a nightmare finding which one and then fault finding. I never ended up getting it fully sorted and whenever I wanted to start the car I had to lift the bonnet, put a clip on the battery pos terminal then start. I also had to stall the car each time I wanted to stop cos the only other way was to remove the clip - a total pain in the arse. What I've come to realise is that if someone wants your car and they're a professional it really isn't going to make any difference if you've got 1 immobiliser or 100 cos they're gonna have the equipment to get past it. If its a chancer then they're unlikely to have the knowledge to get past a decent Thatcham Cat 1 system.
  2. Ha ha - thanks mate Brembos are very easy to spot - they're gold coloured with the Brembo mark very visible.
  3. Probably something & nothing mate. Firstly the led will be drawing next to no current so don't worry about that. I don't know if JDM's have a factory immobiliser or not, does your Clifford have a separate LED or have they wired it to the factory one? If it has a separate one I would doubt theres anything wrong with the Clifford, if it doesn't again I would doubt there is much wrong due to the fact that the car is still starting. Worth getting it checked I'd say but wouldn't take it to Nissan - have the place that installed your Clifford take a look or a decent auto electrician should be able to sort you at a fraction of the cost.
  4. That they put it right mate, doubt you will get any more than that tbh

  14. I'm trying to give up but thanks anyway Tim
  15. Accepted but better safety systems etc. Tbh, I think if it was me buying my 17yo a car now I'd buy em something with a decent size engine (like a 2.5) so they wouldn't be able to afford to drive as often and a decent size car too so if they did have a smash they'd have a fair bit of metal surrounding them. Just my personal opinion obviously, I've got no stats or anything concrete to back this up
  16. Doesn't make a difference, they'd be ragging it whatever. My first car was ............. (yep I'm not admitting that) but I drove it to within an inch of its life and drove v quick everywhere. There is an argument that a faster car would be safer - more chance of it stopping.
  17. My front end is supported quite well enough without a bra thanks very much
