Now i've seen this problem before
Have you tried winding up the dongle and releasing the spider?
Failing that you could always perform the hindywhip manouver
This is performed by
  • Put the ignition on
  • select reverse
  • push the horn 3 times
  • squeeze your nose
  • light a fart
If that doesn't work its broken

He needs to engage the reset facillity (R) to put it back in the garage, then leave it there until the contents of the owners manual have been fully digested.

I think I can see the problem. Either his LRS has expired or he needs to buy a new jar of wiring loom smoke  :lol:

I had this problem once, tried using the reset facility, beeped horm 3 times & floored the throttle peddle as advised by a friend!

Ended up with a big hole in my garage wall, reckon the motor was possesed, so gave it away to the local vicar.

I found this thread quite amusing at first but Paul's link to the original thread on t'other forum just goes to show that you consider it fine to come on here purposely to extract the urine out of some of our members.

What a shame everyone took it for what it was. A poor attempt at humour with an ulterior motive.
Stand up the man, or woman, that never asked a silly question or didn't quite understand how things work.

Oh dear, and we fell for it :roll: what a stupid bunch of hicks we all are, shucks.

At least we aren't a sad bunch of t***ers with nothing better to do all day than bait people on other forums for genuinely trying to help.



Funny thing is I havn't found one truely usefull thing on that forum, just a lot of bad spelling and foul language :-k

Each to their own, I'll stay here with the thicko's I think if the rest of you don't mind ;)

This stated as a very funny post with a seemingly daft question being asked, It had me in laughter reading some of the answers being posted, At one stage I very nearly moved it to 'Jokes & Funnies'.

It wasn't until I was alerted by another member to the thread on ‘Got Mud’ that I then found there was an ulterior motive to the post and that it was started to try and stir things up..

As a result of his actions landymad839 has been placed on probation for one month.

Apology accepted Rourkie.
