Had a toyota Presara(upmarket Auirion) at work today with a flat battery. Went to grab the booster but the boss had taken it
home, so with some reluctance grabbed the jumper leads and the
young bloke come over to give me a hand.
I handed him the keys and he throws them in the console as you do with these things.
Get the cables hooked up the alarm goes off and the blxxdy thing locks itself, great as the spares are most likely in
Melbourne.
Went across the road to the car dealer to see if he had any ideas, rolls around the floor laughing and says I think you in the manure, thanks mate.
Anyway we got a new battery, and called NRMA to open it , which he did eventually with a lot of trouble. I am not going to say here how he managed to open it but if anyone wants to mm me I will fill them in. Suffice to say the normal way did not work.
Anyway theirs a bit of a lesson here with the new Prados also having the same stupid system.
Cheers Pete
