Subject: AW: Re: Parking my Delorean on a Hill
hi,
i used to park my car (not the delorean, another one but this is not the
point) sometimes in a high grade driveway. the parkingbrake was weak and
so
i used to carry a wooden wedge in my car and put it during parking under
the
front wheel. it?s not the "good looking" method, but a safe one.
greetings,
Fred

holding well that the approrpiate course of action would be to fix the
parking brake.]

The PRV is a low compression engine. Doesn't take much of an incline
to rotate it in gear. Have you tightened your parking brake cables? Is
really easy (and mine were 9/16 English!). They do stretch with time.

Subject: Problem with Lockzilla
With the prodding of Rick G, I've been able to locate the current drain in
my car (Don't worry, I'm still going to install the battery isolator). It
turns out to be Lockzilla pulling about 30Ma with the "remote" unit
plugged
in, and 20ma without. The total current draw from the battery when the
car
is off was 30Ma until I totally disconnected Lockzilla - then I get a zero
Ma reading on my meter.
Apparently, this drains the battery down about one volt per week - enough
to
cause the auto-shut off to kick in, which was my original problem.
Has anyone else noticed a slight current drain with Lockzilla (with or
without Remote), or could I have a defective unit?
