Exactly Steve

Every single one of my cars that has an EKA has the same code programmed in by me, saves me digging out the paperwork if I have a plip failure..........one of the first jobs on any 5AS/Pektron equipped car

Well it goes from bad to worse...

An auto-locksmith has been out and the ECU had been messed with before hand so has said that a new ECU & Key fobs are needed.

Anyone know of any going to suit a 03 plate MG TF135

Is it Pektron (oval fob) or Lucas (rectangular) alarm ? I thought the transition to Pektron was MY2004 models?

In any case member Technozen on the dark side would have been my first port of call.

The Pektron is particularily difficult to match fobs to unless you have the barcode or read the eeprom and start to play with the file.

The Lucas alarm is relatively easy with T4 diagnostics to match immobiliser and programme random fobs from scrappy (or even your Freelander) for instance.

Yes, it's a Pektron. I have given him Technozen's details as well.... but he's in an unhappy place at the mo having this big blue 'paperweight' so trying all options to see if I can help.
