MARC MOSS Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Tell them to fuck off, that ridiculous. Are you running a cb or scanner ? I doubt it lol Quote

MARC MOSS Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 You go to the police first, report that you are getting stick from your neighbours about the apparent problem. There is no way your car is causing a problem Quote
Whitenoize Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I've never heard of anything like this before sounds ridiculous 😂 Quote
Ep82gi Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 My car interferes with my radio fine when the cars not running start the car n I have no chance lool Quote
glanzatd04l220 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 it interferes with the tv's like a mini moto, might try different plugs and see if it helps.so no one else's car interferes with tv's? kevin Quote
Ep82gi Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I put mine down to not having a mid silencer I put the bung back in the back box and it stops. Quote
Matt1878 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 That's crazy! My car has no silencer or back box and I get nothing. The only thing I get is that my alarm goes off when a taxi gets close. Must interfere with the radio frequency. Quote
morgey Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Lawnmowers and scooters used to screw up our tvs but that was a good few years back, havent had it since getting flatscreen tv's and switching away from a digibox. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Check what the plugs are first, I ran some Vpower plugs in mine and they caused no end of issues with signals to the ECU as they where non suppressed plugs and I was told they can cause the same problem with TV signals too! Old school copper core plug leads used to do the same thing too but I very much doubt you will have them lol Quote
glanzatd04l220 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 going to replace the spark plugs and see what happens, what plugs should i put in? running tdo4l at 1 bar 215 bhp. kevin Quote
glanzatd04l220 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 changed the plugs to ngk bkr7eix and still interferes with the tv. kevin Quote
morgey Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Try changing the plug leads, or maybe it is the exhaust doing it? Have got got a cat to test fit see if that helps? Cars do have a interference suppressor in the loom somewhere but thats for the cars electronics, not surrounding houses far as i know. Quote
Flaminsam Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Some old mopeds do exactly the same. It's from the coil/ht leads. Either update the leads, give the coil a decent earth or check for arcing at night with the engine running. You may see tracking on the outside of the ht leads causing the interference. Quote
glanzatd04l220 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 i'll replace the ht leads, distributor cap and rotor arm and see if it helps. kevin Quote
