What's the crack with this/ My dealer seems incompetent.
Went in 3 weeks ago - my 3 button key fob locks and opens the boot 100% reliably, but the door unlock is extremely flakey. Sometimes I have to open with the key, which then sets the alarm off till I start the car. I assume the open switch in the fob is dickey. So I go in to order a replacement key.
They want V5 log book, passport, drivers license and inside leg measurement. I think they were surprised when I said yep - got all that in the car. Next they want the cars key-pass, which sadly I don't have. So £22 to re-order, and then I' booked in a week later for a re-programming.
A week later I pitch up, and the key hasn't arrived - it's on special order from Germany. So re-book for a week later which was today.
Pitch up today and leave the car with them for an hour, Go back, and they're saying the key won't program to the car. They're re-ordering another key incase it's faulty, but suspect it's the car, and want me to book it in for an hour's investigation - presumably at £100+ an hour. break that.
So - what's involved in programming a new key? - 3.0 FL Elite auto saloon on a Y plate? I've got a Tech 1 - can I do it with that? The immobiliser chip is fine - it's just the radio controlled central (un)-locking that's iffey.
