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

« on: Today at 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: Today at 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.

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 ? "

Wont happen Im afraid. The Tories deserve to lose and they are going to.
They need to either disband the party altogether or reinvent the party as a real conservative and unionist party.
Lots of votes for Reform will make the second option a lot more likely.
Most Reform voters would vote for a modern version of a Thatcherite Tory party if it existed.

Headlamp sanding, polishing and lacquering. Not mine, OH's grandmother's clit. Hopefully the old dear will be able to see where she's going now!

EDIT: also serviced FIL's F10 520d for the first time in 4 yrs/15k  . Engine oil was about 20% diesel  hopefully not damaged the poor thing too much!

Not a job I would want, but each to their own.

Wifes nephew is restoring one of those. He has been at it for a few years because he is an absolute perfectionist.
From what I saw of it last year it will be a lot better than a new one from a showroom in 1990 when its finished.
He has a split screen VW camper he restored which has to be seen to be believed.
His day job is doing the electrics on cars being converted into Police cars.
The VW camper has everything internal, operated by remote control - tv popping up, bed folding up / down etc.

S/L  should be easy to spot. A little valve on the side of each one for the pipes to connect to, and a thick bladder which inflates when air is pumped in.
