Guten tag! Thank you for watching. I bought this model 6 years ago and Icouldd only find it on eBay. I think that might be the likeliest place to find one of these fantastic models.

Thank you

I hope you find another way good luck

I still remember seeing a gold one of these driving in Geelong when I was a teenager. Magnificent. I'll never forget the sight of it turning into the street, I can still see the 230hp badge on the front guard and hear the sound of the 302 as it dawdled up the hill. Your lucky to have owned one of these stunning cars.

Why keep it in a box? Life is short, display your cars. 😃

Ah thats a great question. Actually I tapped into the speed signal wire going into the back of the instrument cluster, however if you dont wish to tap into the cars signal wire you can instead attach a magnet to the tailshaft and then use a pickup sensor off that. I am fairly sure this was an option which could be purchased with the system.

@@engineerandmachine Thanks mate, that is super helpful!

@@olivertam3341 no problem. The same wire can be used on some aftermarket head units to do automatic volume as you speed up.

Merry Christmas to you too

Thank you and merry Christmas

Hey Thanks, for pointing this out! I did muddle that right up didn't I.

Me too!

I haven't seen that version though I do agree the hot wheels KITT is an outstanding piece of work. I'd love if they had some of my other favourites too

Thanks yeah I'll see you soon

Thanks gordo

Thank you

Thank you. The mower has been terrific for me and given years of service. The front axle is quite easy to damage, it's my only complaint. It is however easy to replace

Don't tell Frank he'll want to pull it apart again

Please let me know how it works out?

Were you able to get it to program a Key Fob?

Thank you I appreciate it and your absolutely right. The noise in this video is the rain falling onto my garage roof. I think you might also have got to hear my neighbours lawn mower too 😊

😆 I could certainly try!

That sounds exactly like my problem was. I'm not sure if LHD versions have the wiring mirrored but I expect they don't. If I was in your position I would start on the drivers side and investigate the Junction box there. It was the forward connector at the top. The connector stands out because it is vertical while the others are horizontal. Im linking some photos for you in the description which i hope will help you fault find. Please let me know how it works out for you.

Thank you for your advice 🙏 I'll be helping my mate try to do this next week I'll share the results soon.

My friend bought this series over about 2 years. You could try reaching out to supercar buildup dot com dot au or phone them on 02 8378 7932

You can find them unstarted or built from time to time.

Hi there. For me, soaking up the liquid was a temporary fix. Ultimately, I had to replace the inside door skin and one of the hinges. I have read that the microswitch is subject to failure also. Here is something to try. 1. Check to see if your overflow has filled back up. 2. Check the microswitch for continuity. If the answer to 1 is yes you might have a serious leak to look for. I hope this helps

That made me chuckle 😃

@@engineerandmachine sorry... I've built 13 models from IXO, Hachette, Deagostini, Centauria,... most of the with almost no issues. and for sure I did not scratch the hell out of them like you did ;)

I hope you had a better experience with warranty!

Some are calling it a massacre 😃

Good point, there are many user settings and I missed out on highlighting them. I'll remember this in future to try and be more thorough. Please keep an eye out for a follow up video where I show more details. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you it's a great idea i will try it out.

Thanks again Aaron

Keep at it, and thank you for commenting. You're right it doesn't always go as planned, but it always provides a chance to learn

Thanks

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the feedback with the audio I am still learning and its really helpful to have that advice. I have now uploaded the link to the code!

Glad you like it

Thanks Aaron 😊

Bahaha

Yeah but I'm OK with that! Thanks for commenting 🙂

How did you go with that bearing? If it stayed on the axle instead of staying with the wheel you could try a two pronged pulling tool. They are cheap and simple to use

@@engineerandmachine injected with oil. then heated. then a wrench on the ball bearing and knocked loose with a hammer

Excellent glad to hear it!

Thanks Gordo

Those are good suggestions I'll give it a try!

The best Fairlane out of them all! Thanks for watching

My pleasure

@@engineerandmachine luv to see more on your Fairlane. A bit of reminiscing - my dad was going to buy a custom brand new back in the day even brought it home to show the family but it was a bit too expensive lol so he went with a falcon 500 wagon 3.6 auto (wouldn't have been much cheaper I imagine) I can still remember the new car smell of that ford. Evidently (you may know better than me) Henry Ford was born in Ireland on a country lane called Fairlane & that was a reason he had a model by that name - a bit of useless info thanx again cheers

There's a lot of useless knowledge in my head about Fairlanes but that was new to me. I will do some more Fairlane content soon just for you! Thanks for commenting and please keep your eye out for another Fairlane video soon.

I'm so glad if this helped even one other person.

I think if the back of the blade is still in good condition, will still create airflow to lift the cuttings, and you can keep the blade balanced, yes, it should be OK to sharpen and reuse it. Please check with your supplier to ensure you won't impact any warranty conditions.

Hi I got them from United Tools in Burleigh. I would put a link but YT doesn't allow it. They were quite easy to get a hold of. If you are in Australia shoukd be pretty easy to buy Edit I just looked and they say they're experiencing major delays on spares. I did also see some on ebay

Thanks there's more to this story coming soon. Please stick around to find out more!

You are welcome

I am not sure about that. I will look in the settings and see if I can find out in the next week.

Thank you very much🙏

Hi There, I tried to find a key programming mode and I dont think there is one. If there is I couldnt find it. I have made a video of this in response to your question! It should be ready next week.

You're more than welcome 🙏. I am sure you will find it easy to replace.

Your right, my cats are the best mouse traps you can get! Efficient and leave no mess (usually) thanks for watching!
