just to clarify -- the two areas of programming are separate..... REMOTE CONTROL OF DOORS you only need one remote key to be programmed/program to open the doors remotely (GEM system) - up to a maximum of 4 per car.... this relies on the active transmitter in the key fob STARTING THE CAR AND KEEEPING ENGINE RUNNING you need two working keys to program a third and subsequent keys to start and run the engine (PAT system) this relies on the passive chip in the key

Thanks Glen for sorting things out ........

since its being written written off I wouldnt worry abou it - IIRC an aircon pipe is likley to rupture as the engine moves - so what :unsure:

nice house :rolleyes:

I would suggest looking harder ! Try wiggling the wires where they pass through the gaiter into the door at the same time as pressing the button. i would definitely look harder given you get nothing in one direction - the lights dimming ion the other only indicates current being drawn - maybe not in the motor but in a partial short in the wires

just had this with wifes escort - about same era - diagnosed as water damage to immobiliser chip in key !

you can switch it back to Celsius by pushing AUTO and ECON simultaneously IIRC

feel for you all - its one of the hardest decisions - my condolences :blink:

check switches on brake and clutch pedals - these disengage the cc and if faulty may stop it engaging

did the same to mine when I installed it a couple of years ago - the other thing that help was updating my smc barricade router/adsl modem to a netgear one when the barricade gave up the ghost (it was 7 years old) - line now syncs at 8Meg instead of 6Meg

as foster says - engine roll restrictor - bolt at gearbox end - will look ok though defo test by rocking engine

arbs is definitely a possibility - have a look in the faq - in the first few items
