Re: TM-2 temp alarm gone doo-lally

I have the alarm back today and it has been shipped with a full set of accessories/parts which is very handy. Still in conversation at the mo with Jo who has been really helpful and attentative on this matter. Let's face it...anything can break/wear etc. and people who sold you the item are rarely as understanding when something goes wrong.
These days "Just enough is good enough" is what you tend to get with products and services.. if you are lucky. The service has been exemplary.
I cannot drill a hole though as the hole would need to be 17mm diameter. I just do not want a 17 mm hole in my centre console round the already noisy enough diesel lump.
There is warning to not over tighten cable ties. This could have happened although fairly sure I would have read through everything. The engine had been worked on since I put the alarm on and the cable almost certainly would need to have been removed and put back on during those works so I am not privvy to what may have happened there. I did have to use a set of sharp nosed pliers as there was no play betwen the cable the injector pipes it was attached to. That is an additional unknown. The nylon cable ties could of unknowingly been nipped up too hard.
