General Car Chat / Re: R50 Bini

My MOT man, whose judgement I trust, says if someone gave him a brand new one he would pay someone to drive it to the nearest scrapyard to weigh it in for him. He hates them with a passion.

I can still remember the reg number of almost every vehicle Ive owned, the birthdays of both parents, long since deceased. Both my sisters who I havent even spoken to for many years, my wife my kids and even the cat I had for 21 years from 1982.
However, I went out to the shed a few minutes ago, and couldnt remember why I went out there.

The transmission whine from those things has to he heard to be believed. You can hear it long before you see it.
Pretty imposing thing to see coming down the street.

No point seeking advice / diagnosis on a car forum.
Make an appointment with your Doctor and ask for tests. 

Indeed 
sooner the better , treatments are available for some memory loss
took 9 months, and countless calls  to get my mum assessed (Alzheimer's disease & vascular dementia)

Alzheimer's disease & dementia is horrible ,not gust for the sufferer 

Yep, its evil what it does to its victims, and soul destroying for families who have to look on helplessly.

Yes...I believe there are appointments available for 2029.

Virtually impossible to get to see the quack on the NHS. You either die or pay for a private appointment.

Ive completely given up on the NHS. Luckily have private healthcare including GP, courtesy of my employer.
Used the GP service a week ago for the first time and it was very good.

General Car Chat / Re: Frontera 3.2 V6 key / immobiliser issues.

« on: 07 May 2024, 15:39:43 »

Someone came to code the keys to the car and said it cant be done because Immobiliser is damaged and wont allow new keys to be coded to it.
Owner wasnt at home when this was done, so isnt even sure if the person was using Tech2 to try to do the job, or some other "capable device".
Didnt sound quite right to me, but as you know, my level of expertise in electronic matters is slightly below yours.

General Car Chat / Frontera 3.2 V6 key / immobiliser issues.

« on: 07 May 2024, 13:33:18 »

Someone on another car forum is badly stuck with this problem. Will post a link to it below, but not sure if it can be read unless your a member and signed into the site.
Im not signing out to try it, because I cant remember my sign in details and might not be able to get back in. 

https://autoshite.com/topic/58472-wanted-vauxhall-frontera-immobiliser-needs-mechanical-work/#comment-3002147

Basically has two keys that need programming in with Tech 2. Has the car pass.
Someone came to do the job while he was out and left a message that whoever had worked on the car before has knackered the immobiliser so new keys cant be programmed in.
Reasonably possible or another case of " a little knowledge is a dangerous thing ? "
