Hey guys,
Yesterday around lunch I was about to start up my car when I remembered the silencer which I put in before I got home late the previous night. So I jump out and use my handy tool (a metal road with a hook on the end - primitive I know) to yank out the silencer.
Anyone who has tried removing the Trust silencer I have will tell you that its a bloody nuisance. I've never come across something so stubborn LOL. Anyways, yesterday seemed harder than usual and after several yanks I was getting frustrated and in the end just gave up. I went inside the house conveniently forgetting the key in the ignition, which was already in the 'ON' position.
Shortly after, a couple of mates dropped by and we ended up jamming and just chilling with the usual drugs, strippers and beer (ok well maybe just jamming then). Ended up staying until 9pm before hunger pangs got the better of us and we decided to go grab some food.
By then it was too late. The battery was flat.
And the thing is, I can't jump start the car using the terminals in the engine bay either. I was defeated by the hood lock which needs power in order to work.
The only way was to replace the battery which is another story. Out comes the back seat and the metal panel behind which the battery lives. As I was undoing the bolts to get to the battery, all the while cursing and sweating, I decided that since I'm replacing the battery I might as well get something that lasts longer- this one lasted 18 months.
So I'm thinking Odyssey for its 3 year life minimum guarantee. The audio gear I feel justifies it. However, who sells them locally as the website has no Malaysian distributor listed.
If sourcing one is a problem, what are my other options? I'm not interested in prices but reliability, immediate availability and compatibility (space, leads etc).
Thanks, you guys are a wonderful audience.
