Put tissue in key fob to pad it out
Lights are working
Been outside and done a re sync!
Car opens and locks

Thanks mate!

What would have caused all this all of a sudden?

Can I still get a spare key done next week ?

[TheBoy]

The fact that the battery holder has come away has cause the fob to lose its synchronisation with the car (to prevent scrotes "sniffing" the fob, it uses a rolling code, and its this that the resync resets).

Have you got a carpass?

[The Waynester]

Yes mate, it's not the actual pass, but diamond cars from Aylesbury who I bought the car from in 2004 have wrote down all the codes for key, radio, security etc

Hoorah!

When are you free next week?
Can you get the bits? Or send me link and I'll order 2 spares as I'd like 2 keys if poss buddy

Not sure when I can be free just yet. When you looking, evening or weekend?

I need to check, I *may* have a spare blank key blade (which you'll need to get cut by a locksmith), transponder, and a selection of 2nd hand fobs. Yours is an estate? So 2 button fob?

[TheBoy]

Should add, blank key with transponder is £10 (it will cost you a further £3-5 to get it cut by your local locksmith), the fob you can have, and £10 to program to your car

Hi mate

Weekends are a no no due to gigging in band as usual
Cyprus then Portugal, then off to Russia for 4 weeks
So evening is good next week
Mines the 2 button estate yeah

Have you a link to the bits as want to get 2 keys done please mate

[TheBoy]

Oooo, they've come down since I last bought them - I struggled to get them for under an tenner when buying 20 at a time

2 of these:

As said, I think I have two suitable 2nd hand fobs - there are different types, and it needs to match. Or look on ebay, but ensure it matches yours (carefully read whats written on the back of yours, its difficult to read, probably Megamos).

[The Waynester]

Ordered 2 from that link for £9 plus £1 postage

Now trying to find a fob 

[The Waynester]

[TheBoy]

With the fob, Wayne, it needs to have same number of buttons, and be the same make and type (as written on the back).  The button shape varied between 1999 and 2000, but that's only superficial.

[The Waynester]

Mines a 1998 mate, I've found loads of 2 button omega fobs on eBay
But they look different to mine

[The Waynester]

Did you say you have 2 fobs that will fit my new keys I've got coming?
and you can reprogram your fobs you've got to work with my car?

I've got a bundle here, of various types. What is written on the back of yours, and I'll check if I have anything compatible.
