    Help please fob/becm/new owner problem!

    IrishRover I'm gonna assume you mean we'll be back cos it's interesting and not for any more sinister purpose... but I have my doubts!!!! ;) After all's said and done I agree that there's nothing else like the RR to drive, but I also think there's nothing else like my Scooby for going round...

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your help over the last few days (seems like much longer!) Rick the Pick came over last night and has sorted the whole thing out. Turns out the code was corrupted in the BeCM which is why the car had completely shut down. Before Rick arrived we couldn't even unlock...

    Thanks Adam, turns out the battery has now given up too so I think we're on a roll! Probably the most problems Rick's had to sort out in one visit for a while! Good job these things are the ultimate in luxury once they're moving, certainly more comfortable than my Scooby Impreza on long...

    Felix - thanks for the info, hubby just looked and it appears that the workings of the button that allow the back seat to fold have dropped into the hole and disappeared on the driver's side of the car, so we can't see anything of the RF stuff! Love this car! never rains but it pours! Will...

    Hi All, I've been back to the dealer this morning and having taken advice from Trading Standards have managed to get him to agree to foot the cost of repairs. Also have Rick the Pick coming out tomorrow evening with any luck to do the jobs, so all seeming to get a little better! Have had...

    Ok, engine check light comes on but now we have the "engine disabled" message againh so we have no idea if the car would actually start or not because as ever the battery has had to be disconnected again. Only thing that appears to be different is that the alarm LED in the middle of the...

    Further update... Got engine disabled warning to go away once battery reconnected again and now car turns over but won't catch and run. Any suggestions? We've checked spark plugs and made sure all obvious connections under the bonnet are good but it seems as though it's not getting any...

    Help please fob/becm/new owner problem!

    Thanks everybody. Unfortunately still having problems. It turns out that now the car won't accept the EKA at all and if left for a while it disables the engine again, however quickly we put the key in the ignition and with the EKA not working that means we have to disconnect the battery...

    Hi Again, Just tried again to re synchronise the keys and pressed unlock button whilst in position 2 but still no luck. Reset all the windows etc so funky beeping has stopped and car starts without the EKA again which is a real bonus from where we were but again neither fob works. Do we need...

    Hi J the Range, Thanks for your help, but it didn't work. I reconnected the bettery and got the car going with the original key and also the new key, but still neither of the fobs work despite me following your advice with both of them. Is there anything else you can suggest or do I need to...

    Hi All, Hubby and I bought a 4.6 Vogue on a 99 T plate last Saturday. Dodgy dealer told us that the only key for the car had lost the code and needed reprogramming. He knocked small amount of price for this and hubby bought car. Only way to start car at this point was by physically entering...
