    300tdi re-set remote lock key fob

    you'll need someone to help you unless you've got increadibly long arms, but if the re-programing doesnt work then most likely the fobs are dead, as mine were when i got my truck. Remote Key Fob Replacement can sell you a new one. they cost 50 quidish but will work. i got a "new" LR one on...

    300 Series KeyFob not working..Help

    running your car on vegtable oil

    i know it's not the same as veg oil but i've had a look at bio deisel availability on fourcourts and if you follow the link below it'll take you to a site that lists garages all over the uk. it's not as much hassle as veg oil and cheaper than dinosaur oil :) All Biodiesel Outlets in the UK

    Alarming problem!

    hi Karlo, i dunno if it's the same on a 300, i'll have a look tomorrow. my 300 is an early january 95 model so must've just missed out on the 2 button fobs :o i followed another thread on the mud club site, with exactly the same problem i'm having but there's no conclusion in it. damn!:(

    Hiclones, anyone tried them?

    too true, i was gonna do some of the work myself to save dosh but mainly i cant be arsed anymore, i'd rather just have someone with a good rep do the work and know it's done properly, especially when it gets tricky and from what i can gather it can all get a bit tricky when you start opening...

    Hiclones, anyone tried them?

    hi G, yeah they're about 80 quid for a 300tdi (1995) and from the other freds i've looked at it seems a little less turbo lag is about the best you can expect, and some of the more techie responses werent very positive at all. anyway, i've got more pressing things at the moment such as corroded...
