you will need the fob to work with the ecu

Nat, you should post a link up to the ebay advert so everyone can see exactly what you have and what you need to get.

You'll need to get a fob matched to your ECU, I know http://www.talonsportscars.com/100r.php can do this, I'm sure there are other places.

You may be able to bolt the VVC engine to your 120 box but you'll find it undergeared, I know there are differences between the 2 boxes, I'm not sure what they are though. www.rovertech.net has a welth of info on the PG1 box.

To save any confusion, what are the main components of the electrical system. The way I understand it (probably wrong) is there is an ECU which plugs into the engine wiring loom. The ECU is also connected to the 5AS security box? Do the ECU and 5AS need to be synchronised to work together or will any ECU (be it an MGF one or a ZR160 one) work with any 5AS? Is it the 5AS which needs to be synchronised with the fobs? If so this website may be useful http://www.alarmremotes.co.uk/new_page_4.htm
If someone could answer those questions in turn I think it would be very useful.

Nat, did the seller say that the 5AS/ Fobs/ ECU would be provided in the sale?

[Nats Whiskas]

He said that the ECU, wiring loom and 5as was included but didnt say anything about the keys?! so im presuming ill simply have to send my keys, the ecu and 5as to a re programmer!
Since we cant really do the engine till may 14th anyway cos of exams its not to much of a hassle..
Its the whole matching up the Gearbox to the Engine that is confuzzling me..

[ZS Phil]

The gearbox will be fine, Talkingcars only suggested a change because of the ratios (I think) but for the time being the 120 box will be fine, if anything it will give good acceleration but you will be changing gear alot
