Yeah I did mate, Ta.
10 days to order the key from Germany + the car has to be at the nearest dealer for coding which is 30 miles away.
didn't fancy the wait and cost of a low loader + 20 for key + 65 for coding. Wife needs her car on tuesday
SO, just bought me a new ecu, handles, transponder, key and ignition barrel. 85 delivered.
Hope it does the job, don't want to give up on the old girl yet.
Thanks
