Help, My Turbo timer is a full auto timer, but since having an alarm fitted, it's decided to go bonkers. It starts up ok and then stops for no reason what so ever.... I can't get any options on it by selecting the Select button. It doesn't produce an auto countdown function at all anymore and doesn't even show me the battery volts... Is there a user manual somewhere out there that can help, or has anyone had similar issues. Regards Paul

you guys know that display that shows the temperature on the windshield wiper box right? ok what i want to do is change the numbers from fahrenheit to celsius. so i bought a used german switch box that showed the numbers in celsius and thought i would just have to change it. so i did that and the numbers are still in fahrenheit! how come?? how would i go about changing this? the only thing that i could think of, would be the ecu right? i took booth of the switch boxes apart and the socket boards are actually different. even the display is different check them out so any ideas?

hi all,my central locking works on my sigma alarm,but i noticed the other day that it wasnt and god knows how long ive been walking around leaving it unlocked. its still making the right noise(all the clicking and such) but its not clicking over. when im inside the car i cant lock it either,when i push the lock over its just clicking over but its got no resistance and its not locking. so ive been locking it with the key and then it flips over! i was thinking about getting at it with a screwdriver, any ideas?
