Complaining
I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

What is it with dealer-fitted alarms?
I have had friends and colleagues that have experienced no end of issues with dealer-fitted alarms.
My own relates to Mrs S's car (the Shitbox Lancer) which had a cheap dealer-fitted alarm that sort-of worked ok. Then one day it shat itself completely. Had to get the AA guy to come around as we could not deactivate the alarm and the siren just would not stop. So as AA guy and I stood there staring thoughtfully at the engine bay, I spotted a connector between 2 sets of cables that terminated at the alarm. 'Here goes nothing' I thought, and disconnected it......
Silence! Turn key, engine starts!
AA guy asks what I did, so I showed him. "You shouldn't be able to do that at all!" he said, adding that whomever fitted the alarm had utterly no idea what they were doing, and wondered how many other more expensive cars from that dealership had similar setups....
