Remote Central Locking

[Guest clanman]

Hi, my remote central locking has never worked, i have had it into my local dealer, but as it doesnt seem to be a 5 minute job, they havent bothered to look at it.

the last time i had it in for a service, they said the key will need reprogrammed, failing that they will have to put it on the diagnostic machine to find the fault?

is there anything i can try myself first? i have little convidence in there diagnostic machine as it failed to pick up the maf problem i had in the past, but i still get charged

Where do I get one of these kits from, how much and how big a job is it

 

Can't believe its not a standard fit on all models, having young kids running all over the road while you go back to the drivers door to lock up is just plain dangerous

[ALARM MAN]

I can supply one :lol:

65 pounds delivered

 

Easy to fit flashes indicators to confirm lock/unlock

closes electric windows / sunroof

 

What year is it ?

I'm interested, I've got a '97 Gal. My RCL works but not on the fob......

[ALARM MAN]

The Unit is a Toad Remote Upgrade

As i said covers windows as well

Very reliable unit

Fitted loads especialy to Galaxys as the early models were Infrared and very poor reception these are a treat

 

with about 7 wires to connect

 

If any one wants one just drop me an PM

 

I fit these for about 90 - 100 pounds

Mines a 2000 (new shape) Zetec i.e. just the key no remote at all

When you say easy to Fit, How easy, is easy. As I am not well up the Electrics field, but would be very intrested in purchasing one or these. As I have 97 Galaxy and my Key remote just drains new battreries when I put new ones in so it only works for about 20 mins.

 

Do you have a diagram that I could look at before I purchase to see if i could manage to fit it.

Don't point that question at me, it's loaded.

[ALARM MAN]

What ?

[Masked Marauder]

Because if he says you can not because it is selling in the forums he will upset some members, the ones you are "helping."

 

If he says it is not a problem, help away, then the other users who want the rules enforced will be upset.

 

So in your post, suggesting that your inital motive is not to sell, but to help, you put anyone who has to decide the answer in a bit of a spot.

 

If I was a moderator (I obviously am not) there would be no question about my decision.

 

Perhaps in future it may be an idea to help by pointing out what is available, and leave any other information about pricing etc to PMs. That way you get the best of both.

[Richmond]

What ?

As MM suggests I meant that by implying that your motive is to help others, you make it more difficult for a moderator to tell you that you can't do it. You could have asked the neutral question 'Am I allowed to offer goods for sale on the forum?'.

 

FWIW I couldn't care less whether you do or not, so long as the forum doesn't become a small ads board (which was obviously not your intention).

[ALARM MAN]

Yeah get the drift

Helping is why i joined having one myself

And people being ripped of by the Fraud dealers pi---s me off

If you know what i mean

 

So will leave it at that if anyone needs help you know where i am
