2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scatpack. https://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/general-discussion/34629-goodbye-mopar.html
Disconnected the battery.
Some gremlins appeared on the cruise at club night. Noticed left indicator on dash was dim, and wouldn't flash. Right one worked fine. Headlight in passenger side works, drivers side didn't. Front Fog lights come on by themselves. Will investigate before the weekend, all rears look okay apart from indicator.

Sounds like a wiring fault. Probably where the IVA conversion was done to separate turn signals from headlights.

Have the new Challenger a good clean.
For a virtually new car the paint was awful. Full of contaminants and sap and bug guts.
Use an entire clay bar up getting the paint clean!
Now with a coat of polish it’s more my standard.
It will do until the stripes are removed and that is when I will have much work to do, but for now it’s much more presentable.

Looking great. Looks like a new car.

Thanks but it virtually is a new car!!
The paint was disgusting - it took about 20 hours of work to get it clean.

Nothing since driving it on Sunday, but need to get my radar detector setup and got new dash cam to go in.
New one has both front and rear cams, old one was only front, but also has ability to notify an app on my phone if anyone knock the car whilst it’s parked up. It saves the footage (either HD or 4K) to cloud storage and I can view the cams either live or a recording. Nice little additional security.
Also, got my garage door defender to install. Car insurance likes those.

Oh, and the stripes come off on Saturday!!
Sounds like a good bit of kit. I guess it must have a sim card to upload to the cloud.

Did you use a hair dryer to heat them up? Of did that van behind do them for you? He seems to be blocking your drive.
No fingers lost this time?
