Well im shocked young lady. When i had the Gal all four were getting low and i got fed up with checking the bloody things every few days so went and had four fitted just for piece of mind.

I didnt know timpsos could program them. Well i have one key and to get another programed i need to go to dealer which is a sore point a the moment but thats another story.

The welsh mining industry looks set for a come back. Appparently theyve fond some copper in Snowdonia

If you do a search on hear you will find lots of posts about people waiting ages for the car. I wouldnt worry too much about the colour because chances are Fords will ring to say its discontinued anyway :wacko: All joking aside its sounds a very nice car.

It was only FOC because they couldnt do it. Otherwise it was also going to be 30 mins labour which i think was about

I thought about that but when i asked how much a standard key was they told me the same price which i find hard to believe. I didnt realise the chip came out of the key. Had a look at that earlier and it looks like the chip is moulded into the key on the flip style one. Dont really want to force it too much or i will be up the creek without a paddle :lol: . May try another Seat dealer next week on the price of a standard key

Well i just took both keys apart again to have one more look inside. OH BUGGER The number on the chip IS the same on both keys but the new key has the letter F after it. Anyone got an idea if this is what is causing the programing problem and apart from getting another key is there a cheaper way around it Cheers Adrian.

I was expecting to see a battered cod there as well :lol: Yup thats the boy. Thats where i got my numbers from. So the way i see it the key should work as they are the same :D

Which bit is the pats chip in the flip style key. Ive had both keys apart side by side and checked all the numbers i can see and both are the same. What sort of number am i looking for on the pats chip? They can sell me the "blip" part of the key but thats the bit that is

Well i had to pop to my Seat dealer today to get half of a front grill which flew out the other day when an artic wizzed past me blowing it out. Anyway, whilst there i asked if they could program the new spare key i bought off Ebay months ago. I just needed it programing for the imobiliser. Now the key in quwstion has a VW logo on it. When i bought it i made sure it was the correct frequency etc as my old one and it was. Whem Mr Seat fix it man looked at the new key he said it may not work due to being a VW key. We have had this problem before. Anyway he said hell give it a go and off he went. 20 mins later he came back and said sorry but as i thought i tried it twice but just keeps comming up with an error code. Whilst i was very pleased with the service i received (Holders of Congresbury) because i just turned up without an appointment and didnt have to pay a penny i was i bit miffed as to why the key didnt work. Why would the fact it has VW stamped on it make a difference. Even MR fix it Seat man said it should work fine but for some strange reason it doesnt and it wasnt the first time he had this problem. They want

You wanna borrow my glasses :lol:

Hi, can you tell me what you think about the quality of them? Do they seem good value for money? I would have thought you should be able to take the power from the radio area maybe.

I understand what you mean though. You just want a basic car with just the basic electronics that it needs to make it go and stop like the good old days. Theres some sense in what you are saying but to convert a car which has all the electronics fitted to ripping it all out i think you could be on to a non starter. If yo do manage it then please tell all. Maybe you could find an older car without so much fitted but improve the comfort etc etc etc to make it a bit more like a modern day car

Yeh and still ends up going around in circles not having a clue where youve been or where your going :o :o :o

Thanks for the replies folks but TOUCH WOOD it hasnt done it for a couple of weeks now so maybe the gremlin has moved out :o

Is this the sort of thing your on about Ebay item number 150212384534

Nice one. Sounds like you got a good deal there. I used to have a Ghia Gal and loved it. Chances are its just a dodgy parking sensor and whilst pricey for what they are its an easy fix.

You cant do that it wont be safe. Youll kill us all :)

If its green please seek medical advice

What happened to the original subject of the Jag wheels :) ?????????????

Sounds a fair price to me. Ive had a 115 Galaxy and now an Alhambra but have never driven a 130 to compare. Im not 100% sure but i think they both have the same torque. I cant see that 15bhp is gonna make a load of difference to be honest but no doubt someone with a 130 will be along soon to tell you its the best thing since sliced bread,

I hope she goes gentle with me (NOT)

Did you notice much difference with the new suspension over the original. I find the original on the SE to be quite good for a car of its size and much better than the Gal i used to own.

Some are better at keeping their mouths closed than others :lol: :lol:
