T4 - who has one????

[jp kelly]

been told the only way to sort my car out is to get 2 new fobs with the barcodes, and then have it put on a t4 to reset the ecu and scu, so that the central locking and alarm run a new frequency

does anyone know which company has a t4 so i can get it done

[markyzs180]

dealers or mg rover specialists kid....my local one charges £35 for a hook up...

[jp kelly]

thought mg was bust though, what dealer do i look for?

[afcbadam]

the xpart site is listing 6/7 garages around manchester...maybe worth having a look to see if theres another one closer....

good luck with getting it sorted bud....what a bloody nightmare....

[RudeDogg1]

wouldnt mind getting mine hooked up to 1 just to see if there is any codes

[Jay-ZS+]

Wouldnt touch unless have to may have a can of worms hidden somewhere!! Bit like my speedo with the abs light taped up!!! Obviously there for a reason lol

Aye my local ex-MGR garage is now Skoda! They put my car on the T4 last Thurs cause of a misfire-ish problem Im having now and then, but no codes so I guess thats a good thing :)

[jp kelly]

yeh people are saying dont touch them, but if i dont what else am i supposed to do, someone local to me has a set of fobs for my car now, ive changed the locks and ignition barrell but they can still open my car.

my only other option would be to sell the car to someone who lives no where near me, that way it woudn't matter would it so what do i do

Hang on - think you're getting your posts mixed up here mate.. I think Jay was saying to Rudedogg not to bother having it hooked up to T4 just for the sake of it and not referring to the garage, you have no choice but to take it to a dealer to sort it out, you've done all the hard bits by changing the lock/barrel, the synching of the scu and fobs is easy....

[jp kelly]

rsm and ross with the charged zed say that messing with the ecu can disrupt the scu, and if this happens it works out a massive and costly job. my plan was to sell the zed in april anyway for a 180, just dont wanna end up splashing out hundreds when im going to sell it anyway

[KevG]

You just need the Body controller (is the face lift model's SCU, these are now integrated together) to give access to the new fobs, you dont need to mess about with the engine ECU.

[jp kelly]

dont really get what your saying kev haha, if i buy 2 new fobs with barcodes will x part be able to do it easy ?

[KevG]

They will.

[markyzs180]

They will.

Yep... I was about to say that you wasted your time changing the locks if you're not having new fobs....can't see a problem, this happens alot you know...

[jp kelly]

hopefully x part will also have the fob then??? cheers for the help guys
