one question. A local scrappy may b able 2 supply me the door locks & boot, ECu and key. Most importantly If I was to replace these, will the new ECU read its key and start the engine again? | |

the problem with getting one from the scrapys is getting the matching keys for the ecu but you still looking £80-100 if you can find the correct ecu for you car | |

really:!. They have 2 replace the ECU if you lose you're keys :O. I know about the anti-theft/immob bit. But surely there has to be a cheaper way to get a programmed key for f**k's sake!! flashing chips on motherboards on PC's dont even cost that much!:mad: | |
