Guest The Flash Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi all Was giving the car a good top to bottom clean yesterday (Matt take note!) and found a couple of things in the boot which meant nothing to me! Car is a "J" TT if that makes a difference. Meant to attach photo, but forgot to take any so that ruled that one out as a non-starter. 1) Toggle looking button on the left hand side that makes a definite click when pushed / pulled - seems to do nothing though! 2) Under the carpet was this red "thing". looked like some kind of flare, but was covered in Jap writing - and for some reason I had forgotten all the hard work at "Japanese classes" in school! Is only 6 inces or so...... Anyone have any clues? Cheers Flash:conf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The flare seems to be a thing needed in J-land, my mates car had 1 (import) and so does our company hi-lux (import). I guess it's like a warning triangle in France. As for the button ?Ejector seat? (or maybe fog light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The flare is in case you get stuck up Mt Fiji I beleive Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Flash Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Oh! Am sure Mr Fiji would have something to say about that as well - so imagine would need more than a flare! As for the switch - I have a fog light switch on the dash - so am not sure thats it....... Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The flare goes on the little clippy things on the plastic passenger side kick plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Im sure I have a small switch next to the interior light in the boot, and this I believe turns the light off permantly, or on, so that it will come on when you open the boot. Or is it just to manually turn it on off, not sure, but its deffo bulb in the boot related... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 The Flares are dangerous if you have kids its prob best to remove it. I been told that there have been accidents with them in the past...though this was on the notice board at Jem in the days when I used to go there.

Guest The Flash Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 The Flares are dangerous Cheers for all the answers! Forget the kids - I think the flare would be a suitable and unexpected alternative for the dozen red roses expected on 14th (Assuming the flare is red, and I dont aim it badly!!) Im sure I have a small switch next to the interior light in the boot, and this I believe turns the light off permantly Thought it might do... mine doesnt work anyway so guess that makes half the switch broken!

Green Peace Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Originally posted by Ashley Willis I hope you have removed yours then Si, you know you cant be trusted The only Flares I've seen were the ones you were wearing when I last saw you. Fly collers are also dangerous in the wrong hands...and should only be worn by old men in tweed jackets who present 'The Open University programmes' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
