Title: ALARM
Post by: TEMPER593 on June 29, 2008, 14:55:24: Hi all

Can anyone tell me where i can pick up a new key fob for my 300TDI.

Ones never work rate and the other one die this morning. Its got a new battary and it still wont work well that was till i lost me rag and bashed it!!! :evil:

Also if the trucks been unlocked for a bit when u go to start it the key light comes on on the dash. so u have to lock it then unlock it and then its fine. :?

Could these two be linked? :-k

Many thanks TEMP

That light means the immobiliser has cut in mine does it as well.

Is yours a single button, or twin button??

If single, then you can program it yourself.... if twin button then if you get a replacement fob (or I can get one for you) I can program them... and it will be less that Â£80 all in - even for a genuine fob!!

If u take the battary out [!Expletive Deleted!] about with it then put it back it works but its doin it every time u need to use it. :? :evil:

Post by: Porny on July 01, 2008, 11:54:29: As Karlo said... check the battery holder is still soldered correctly to the board....

If not... it might be new fob time :( (which isn't that expensive - I can even supply aftermarket fobs - which do seem to last better than genuine)

The fob looks okay but i am not 100% sure that the fob is at fault because the door no longer unlock when it the alarm disarms, you have to walk around the car until it disarms.

Do you think the fob is U/S or is it the brain?

Also where is the brain is on a 3 door 95disco? .

thanks rob
