  1. I know they had terrible trouble with gearboxes but to be fair they have about 350 of them on our outfit and I haven't heard of any having gearbox failure?

    Most of our stuff is less then three years old and mine is the higher end of mileage at 84k @ 2.5 years.

  2. I've got a 15 plate Traffic, had several warranty jobs so far.... 

    Broken down several times with dodgy electrics, used to turn its headlights on when left sometimes!

    Was leaking oil and now has a fault on the steering wheel, clicks like crazy sometimes, garage won't fix it as it doesn't do it all the time! 

    85k miles now. 

    I would never spend my own money on such a **** vehicle! 

  3. Started as a sparks and moved to a company with electrical and fire/intruder/access arms.

    Worked as service/breakdown for both sides for many years.

    Continued to go between approved sparks and fire related jobs ever since.

    Now work for Sovereign doing all the above plus AOV.

    I keep all my training up to date so I can carry on deciding which area to work in but electrical or alarms install in domestic is my pet dislike!

    I can get one sent direct to you, but there has been a general manufacturer price increase, this thread is 2 years old,

    I've not ordered one for a while now, I would have to check the current cost in the morning for you and get back to you tomorrow

     

    Did you get chance to price one for me?

    cheers for that, once I get the old one out I may fix it as a spare, can't be much goes wrong, I suspect a toasted relay.

    Paul.

  6. I have lost count of the number of times Joe public has pushed a GBU by mistake!

    We all think it's obvious that the GBU is for emergency use but experience tells us otherwise now.

    Agree on the hinged plastic covers stopping most mistaken use of the GBU but only alarm them if there is continuing malicious use.

  7. The short answer is no -you can legally record voice and video / images.

    .

    The Data Protection Act does not apply to an individual person acting in an individual private capacity. You can legally record CCTV and Audio on your own property which covers your own property. The ICO has no jurisdiction to investigate a private person acting in a private capacity.

     

    HOWEVER;-

     

    There are a number of criminal and civil matters to consider so that you do not fall foul of the law:-

     

     

    The Courts have the power and the jurisdiction under three strands - these are the common law principles of misuse of private information / Private nuisance and the right to privacy enshrined in domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998. The court as a public body has a duty to ensure that an individuals privacy rights are being maintained

    or are complied with or restored. Therefor, if you was to record images or audio in a way which the court would deem a disproportionate interference with the private and family life of another person it may issue an injunction. If the High Court issues such an inunction and that is breached that could lead to contempt proceedings and ultimately

    committal to prison. So you must generally make sure that what you are filming is either on your own property or directed towards your own property or covers a public place where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. A good example is setting a camera position to a neighbours front windows which can see through the windows therefore intruding into their private and family life - that would be something which would justify an injunction against someone to stop them from filming in such a manner.

     

    You have also to think about the Protection from Harassment Act where it could be deemed harassment to carry out a course of conduct (2 or more occasions) where a reasonable person with the same information would deem it to be harassment. The courts are likely to deem repeated filming into other peoples property

    which captures private or intimate moments as falling within the definition, for example, filming into someone's house. The defence for that is that anything filmed was for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime.

    I looked into the harassment side of cctv use some time ago and the thought was that a fixed camera cannot be counted as an harassment issue, it would have to be a person using a camera in a harassing way to be a criminal act.

  8. I already asked my local Adi but haven't heard back from them yet.

    I Google for a picture of the single button remote but found nothing. 

    He used to use a two button remote which I'm told is no longer produced so I had to use the four button, but, if the single button remote is the same as the old one I may be able to get him two of those?

  9. I had to replace a disabled guys Visonic remote gear the other day, he uses a remote to open his doors with. Trouble is the new Visonic remote is tiny with recessed buttons making it very hard for him to use. I can't find out if you can still get the chunky round ended remotes with the raised buttons anymore. 

    Anybody know if they still do them on the 800 MHz band?

  10. Full speed ahead!

    You remind me of uncle  Arfer on only fools and horses!

    :teehee:


    Did he offer you more £ when you handed in your notice mate? 

    How did you guess!

    I do a bit more driving now and get 5k a year more, wish I had jumped ship years before.

  11. Luggsey why taking the piss?

    Paying the new boys 50p an hour more then the blokes that had worked there 10+ years.....

    That was the last bit of straw!

    Probably found out you'd dissed the limiter.

    I'm beginning to think you have a limiter fitted Norm.

    :sothere:
