this will only work if you have a plip that is matched to your car, i.e. if the batteries have been changed, this wont work if you buy a plip from another car, the plips come programmed from the factory

Odd. I've had the ECU unplugged before and changed the batteries a couple of times without needing to do that.

you rarely have to do it, it only applys if the batteries go completley flat for ages

I dont have a plip key for my D9 and the door locks are playing up (whole barrel spinning with key :shock: ), phoned the stealer for quote for new barrel and that was in the region of £250 but after reading more it sounds like a common problem so there's no guarantee that the new barrel would fix it!

Anyway, is there a way to re-program an old plip key from another car onto mine? (from what I can see I've got the IR type not the RF!)

Quote from the stealers for a new key was £250 - coincidence? :x
