This is going to sound really obviously for someone that's done this before.
We all know the keys for these cars can be a real pain with them looking a lot older and tatty in comparison to the car!
So, I decided to take action and order one of the replacement keys from our friendly auction site.
They look great and I have swapped over all components, blade, metal connectors and electronic internals.
Remote now looks brand new and works an absolute treat (or remotely locking and opening the car) BUT, and its a bit but, it won't start the car. Pings up alarm fault and will only start with the old case near the ignition. Problem is I cannot see anything else that can be transferred over to the case. What am I missing?
