I need a really quick answer! I'm in the middle of putting my alarm unit back on after being rebuilt, and I have it plugged in, but I still get the "SERVICE THEFT ALARM" message. Does that have to be shut off by techII??

I thought this thread would give me the quickest answer.

by my point of view, all electronic modules must be unmarried, cleared the error codes, married and check again for functionality with tech2.

are you able to turn on the engine?.

some of the individual modules it needs to be re-flashed or reprogrammed again, (with the right software by the supplier and not dealers), after a repair to be accepted with tech2.

Thanks for the reply, but I disconnected the battery for a bit, and it stopped showing the message.

I need help identifying a car. I went to the Saab/Spyker dealer today and when I pulled in an old looking brown colored roadster drove by, so I got out of the car and ran after it (lol) It had what looked like a Spyker emblem on the back, and I cannot track down what kind it is, and I couldn't take a picture of it.

It was a two door roadster, long front end, short back end (sort of Morgan-ish) and it had three tail lights on each side of the back (lined up horizontally) one red, one amber, and one clear if I remember correctly. It looked old, but new at the same time, so maybe it was a kit? It had a dealer plate on it, but it wasn't listed on their website.

Any clues on what it could have been?

Well, Spyker isn't that old of a company. so probably not that.

Did it look like an American car or an older British or Italian car? Long hoods and short trunks were the standard for British and Italian sports cars for a long time.

Kind of hard without a picture.

You have a Spyker dealership in Louisville?

Wasn't Spyker around way back? Then stopped and came back in the mid 2000's ('05?)?

looked Brittish. Morgan-like:



But looked more modern that that and no spare wheel on the back. Maybe it was a Morgan?

And yeah, Spyker moved into the Saab showroom at the Bluegrass Motorsports complex last year.

Edit: Yep, it was definitely a Morgan. It was an Aero 8



Texted that picture to my friend that was with me and he said that was what it looked like.

Hey Wulf, got anywhere I can get a free version of the banner font? I'd like it for the stickers because it will cut down on the cost for them. They recognized it as DDT, but would like a free version or a file of the banner in vector format.

Morning all! Had my son helping work on the roof of my garage last week, got everything torn off and now have to make the repairs to the decking before laying the shingles. Working solo most of this week.

Waiting for the beginning of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival...3 weeks of free music nightly...yay! http://www.annarborsummerfestival.or...p_of_the_park/ It's a good time for a meet and greet if anyone is interested.

Morning! Pretty sore from building a retaining wall this weekend. It's not very difficult and moving some earth / hauling the stone blocks was the hard part. The actual building part was easy as long as you have a solid base. Not a huge wall (about 10 x 6 ft) but enough for a weekend project.

Shazam, I have to look up the font name and the place I downloaded from this evening at home.
