aww hell no! I've been relegated back to my work ute (Ford Ka!) and been sworn to promise to fix the Merc asap. Which I think I did alright, have a "Kompressor" on it's way from a similar kms car for $1500 and I'm sure I can change it over in less than two hours.

We have built a new front fence with solar powered 24v sliding gate etc, all finished last Friday - worked great over the weekend. Monday morning came, gate would not open or close. Dead flat batteries... I have an GSM phone intercom that I would like to connect to it but did not as I did not know where to connect to on the board (that is part 2). The gate motor company came out, you could see that they thought I had connected the intercom and did some damage as they kept asking me about it. After a bit of testing, found it was a faulty solar controller. They replaced it and the batteries and all worked fine. While he was there he connected my intercom for me, very nice of him to do so.
All worked fine, he left and I went to go back to work - gate would not open!!! Thought this is great...... By the time I found it out he was already at another job and could not come back until later. So I played around with it. I disconnected the intercom wires - gate worked again. Reconnected - gate stopped working. I left the intercom power wires connected and disconnected the relay wires so that we could use the remotes to open and close.
Got around to playing with it in more detail today, looks like 1 of the 2 trigger relays in the intercom is buggered. Not a cheap intercom but I did import it from the UK (could not find a decent looking one with the same features here). Now the battle has begun there, they believe that we have stuffed it when connecting it to the gate... Tried telling them it worked for 20 minutes then stopped.
Lesson of the day - whilst I might like bells and whistles sometimes the old gate that swings or slides by strong-arm works far more reliably...
To make matters worse, I think the solar controller is playing up again. It appears to be charging but the green ' charge' light does not illuminate.
I have a headache!-----------------------

Its made worse by the fact that they are not being humiliated into taking a paycut with the rest of the nation. I'm quite sure Abbot, Hockey and that other bloke with the funny accent could "sacrifice" $100k per year each and not even notice it.

Then they stop handing out the pay up notices to the motoring public.
The lack of revenue flowing to government coffers bites real hard real quick.
The pay rise is duly granted.
Funny how that works.
Thats the story in NSW anyway.

mlc - Need to enquire about a cushy job with gun in Broome.
All joking aside. My great salary equates to less than staff working under me. My situation is far better than some, but nowhere near what most people think. Getting screwed is not the privilege of the lower socio economic group. Labor are usually stripping it to give to the poorer (not poorest), or Liberal are usually stripping it to make good labors mess.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]
