Just got back from the garage who have fitted a new heater resistor pack.
And after replacing the wiper motor assembly and indicator stalk assembly with no difference to the intermitant wipers they replaced the security control unit and ecu and now everythin works as it should.

My question is that they have given me 1 new alarm fob but my car already had 2 which now dont work . . . Is there a way to recode them to my new scu and ecu ? Or will a garage have to do it??

Unless you have the original barcodes for the fobs, then it's not easy.
I think MGrovercodes can code them up but need the scu and all fobs.

Is the garage that supplied the car?
I'd be asking them to supply a second fob.

Yea it was the garage i bought it from . . To be fair i cant really fault them they have done everythin they said they would .

Just its now got a new ecu and scu with 1 programmed fob ive now got my 2 old fobs that are as usefull ad a cock flavoured lolly pop !! Just wondered if i can recode them or do i need to buy a new one and get it coded so i have a spare.

Are my old ones scrap if i dont have that number off the new scu??

You need the bar code for the fob to recode it too the new SCU, unless MGrovercodes can do them without.

No bar codes didn't really think it would be an issue ....hmmm how much do they charge for per fob to recode??

I'm guessing not cheap?!?!
