P38A remote controls
« on: February 28, 2007, 23:54:39 »
Any suggestions from knowledgable members - where to get replacement remote keys. Got two, both down, new batteries in but nothing stirring, and drivers doorlock key code doesnt work, (motor on drivers door lock not working, opens only with key).  Result - lovely P38A on drive - dead as a doornail.

Grateful for help :(

Keys are dealer only as fas as i know.  Keys are progremmed to the car, not the other way round as with most other makes.

Fix the drivers door lock first, this is the master lock.. you will find that you will end up with a flat battery on the car if you don't  :roll:

I have just done both front doors they went a day apart, then the drivers door handle went wrong, I snapped the lug for the operating rod taking it apart, 7 to 10 days for a new one. :twisted:

Expensive part but realy needs to be done otherwise problems just get worse, door locks are £123 from dealer.

Thanks for replies. Did same with lug on drivers door handle, but didnt replace lock, just handle.  Is the lock just a mechanical piece or is there an associated motor that unlocks the door when using the remote?  Are they all supplied together? Thanks again.

I did have to recyncronise one of my keys; I can't remember properly but it's something like turn the drivers lock and press the button.

The door lock is  1 piece  contains all the motors etc to activate the lock from the remote, the key barrel is part of the handle they are quite cheap £30 considering.

I take it the remote does not open any doors??

Have you tried resetting the system with by turning the key anticlockwise so many times, clockwise so many times?  It's detailed in the manual.  If it's locked up through radar interference or similar, this may help.
