Key cutting

[malgpz900]

In the Haynes manual it quotes" On earlier models, the central locking system is controlled by an ecu, located in the will panel to the rear of the front drivers door. On later models controlled by BSI"
Don't know whether that help .

I have a '97 1.8D van with a replacement engine (SH) so due to differences in the loom, the immobiliser is no longer connected. The remote central locking worked fine (most of the time) but both my keys have now got buggered buttons. Can replacements be obtained for reasonable money (it's a seventeen year old van - so not worth a lot on paper) or am I reduced to key locking? Everything else works fine and the keypad still shows lights to deter thieves (though where I live, you can still leave doors unlocked when you're out - the neighbours will always spot visitors and tell me that someone came round).

You can get your remote key fobs repaired or get the parts to repair it yourself. Then you should be able to recode the repaired keys to the central locking function following the procedure in the hand book. Don't know what type of key you have but here is an example

I've found the replacement fob plastics on ebay to be absolutely useless, went through one a month before I gave up, the cases just won't stay closed and the plastic material seems to be resistant to most glues.

would like to say that contrary to my mate the key does not simply "pull out" of its housing .... (it actually breaks!)
