A detalarm with remote LED's might of been a better option it can be mounted neatly anywhere

Here's a picture of my install, but I should say that, after posting this picture before, various Forum members suggested the box should be 'taken apart' - the neon wires extended - box hidden behind dashboard - neons just poking through suitable small holes somewhere. Sounds a great idea, but I'm not very good mucking around with the inside of an alectronics box !!

ATTENTION PSLEWIS

I suppose you think you have a sense of humour - I don't.

When a Forum member asks for advise / help, other members contribute to genuinely try and be helpful - NOT to receive ridicule from moronic members such as yourself.

I have modified my car to suit ME - not you.

I don't see any 'funny' side to your patehtic and childish comments.
As your username suggests, why don't you just PS off ?

MODERATORS - this is a classic example of why people prefer SIDC Forums.

Its also a classic example of why I prefer this site to SIDC.

I prefer forums when there are people to spice stuff up, be a bit loud-mouthed. It makes the reading more interesting. Just dont take his, or anyone elses comments personally.

It seems that people take his comments personally, get all upset and start to complain, which I just dont see the point in.

This exactly sums up my thoughts on PSLEWIS's original comments.

Apparently you think it's OK for PSLEWIS to 'spice' things up - but you can't take a spiced reply back to him - interestingly one-sided ??

I made a external unit just for the LED's, makes it easier to install.





Last pic is the location of the sensor

Edited to sort out the pics

That's a VERY neat solution.
Any hints on how to do it? Are the neons in a Maplins box ?

Yep I'm sure it was a maplin box (so long ago), left the pcb in the knocklink box and just extended the LED's to the new enclosure, tricky part was to drill the holes in the new box in a straight line! Installed the original KL box under the dashboard.

It warns you of engine knock/detonation but sometimes it can be too late on a Scoob If you see a red light you should back off.
