    I would suggest getting Arthur Clarke to remove it, but I don't suppose they'd know how to either...
    Apart from his possible lack of knowledge, he died back in 2008!

    I purchased a car from Arnold Clark in June 20.  The battery has now started draining, which I got AC to take a look at, they clearly didn't properly check as I have had no joy (another story).  I then got it checked by an independent mechanic who confirmed that there was a black box fitted under my steering wheel which wasn't turning off when it was supposed to and it is possible that this is what is draining my battery as it is constantly using it.  

    My issue is how do I get this removed as I have no clue which insurance company installed this.  I am single mum and don't have anyone who could remove it, so it would need to be a mechanic etc.  

    Can anyone give me any advice? TIA
    As the mechanic seems to know what it is & knows that it is constantly on Then he would be the one to ask about removing it.
    If you are not familiar with a fuze box or how to do this & that (as you have said) then it makes no difference if you are female or male the sensible thing is to leave well alone if you can afford to pay someone with that knowledge.
