Pete Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Have you had the battery disconnected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've owned the car for over two years and the central locking has never worked from the fob so yeah at some point it will have been disconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Id be inclined to program the keys in again tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Is that when you put one key in the ignition and do the lock ect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ropers101 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Got the front end in the garage today to change the HT leads for some OEM ones to fix a misfire. Then went onto using the snow foam lance for the first time,I'm pleased with the results. I'm hoping that the weather is better next weekend.

mattarosa Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Did you fix the key issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nope. I'm sure that both keys are knackered. None of them have any power. Not sure what to do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've got both keys working now. Feels very odd using the remote central locking after owning the car for over two years. Also some more pictures after a clean yesterday using dodo juice.

bennyx_o Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 What was wrong with the keys? Have a similar issue with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Basically I changed both batteries and nothing worked. Then I took the keys apart again and noticed that the contact which touches the battery was bent up,it was as simple as bending it back into contact with the battery and then they were both working again. Chuffed that it was an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Some pictures after today's machine polishing. Managed to get plenty of scratches out,although I'm going to get a quote for the deeper ones which will need spraying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Today I got around to cleaning the engine bay,adding a red grille trim,change the side lights to match the xenons so they're not yellow anymore. I also cut some red carbon fibre effect vignyl and changed my badges back to red as they had gone white. Already I need to re do the front badge but that will be another day.

Ropers101 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Cleaned the car today just trying to get the paintwork up to scratch. Consisted of snow foam,shampoo,clay bar and then waxing. I'm ordering some ap coilovers soon and getting some paintwork corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
