Pretty difficult really, because if it's not your car then you won't have the keys to get into it to sabotage it will you??


Question Author

well im not going to sabotage my own car am i?

Funny thing I did notice is, that all your questions in various sections seem to relate to things such as getting around a security lighting system or playing around with someones power cables without switching it off (without them knowing its been done) or damaging somebodies else's car, all things which if not actually illegal are at least of questionable intent!!!
Question Author
you're right! just as well im not planning on doing any of this stuff....
Now I know who you are, the ''WIND UP'' machine is back of the AB
Hey Qapmoc, how do you trace what questions he has been asking???
Question Author

They didnt trace me, they looked in the other categories. Just not all of them apparently.

But if you are playing private games within the categories on AB you have got to expect people to take things the wrong way.
Question Author
I fail to see how asking different questions in different categories constitutes playing private games. I dont think many people would have been too happy at me rambling on about a practical joke in any category other than chatterbank. I accept you've obviously got the wrong end of the stick, but for gawds sake, take a chill pill.

im surprised no'one's said hide the keys yet...

Personally, I wish that immature wind-up merchants would confine themselves to other forums and and let us have a platform for serious answers and debates.


Sits back and awaits insults and abuse which, if it comes, proves the point.

Question Author
proves what point, that your answer was designed only to provoke negative responses? not going to happen, qapmoc and i have spoken about this in the suggestions category and resolved our dispute.just because you dont like a question doesn't mean the poster is an immature wind up merchant. FYI this question is to do with a wind-up, but one which will take place in the real world, and i asked a serious question to try to help me with this wind up. i do wonder though why you looked in this thread in the first place.

In answer to the question, if you can get the keys - you can remove the king lead from the car, this is (in simple terms) one of the spark plug leads nut the one that doesnt actually go to a sprark plug - it goes to the ignition coil usually at the side of the engine bay.


Happy pranking !.

Yeah Tigga and burn out the ignition coil while you are at it, The coil generates a high voltage which is designed to be discharged through the sparks plugs, if the discharge cannot take place (for instance because someone removed the lead) then a much higher voltage can build up and this can exceed the rating of the internal insulation leading to a ''flashover'' inside the coil, this will leave a carbonised track and the coil is now basically of no further use.
Stick a potato in the exhaust pipe. Somebody told me they did it if anybdy blocked their drive once.

On some motors you can often pull the plug of the crank position senser which causes the engine to turn over and not fire. This also causes bore wash and once the owner has replugged the senser the wont start for ages anyway. The battery normally goes flat before it fires again.......
