loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks Andy, I have passed on your photos. Tête de bite is waiting form a mate to arrive via Halfords who have* one in stock. After that I'll call autoaid and try and get there before they do.

gadgetgricey Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 A battery has been sourced, a mere £10 Jesus, I hope you got a spare remote at that price. BUT/...... Can you now get in the bloody car
HillmanImp Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 You see the problem there is that alarm fob was probably not make in the UK, hence why it's broken. I'm sure once it's sorted you'll have many* miles of trouble free motoring from the excellent British engineering. Keymaster, The Moog and Lacquer Peel 3
Rod/b Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 The battery holder has broken off the circuitboard so i’m not sure a new battery is the answer. Is the Eka code handily written in the handbook?
sporty-shite Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Feel really guilty now. Can't even go out cos I'm on my own with kids, one of whom was sent home from school ill this afternoon.
Rod/b Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 EKA code insx: https://remotekey.co.uk/rover/rover-eka-code/
Rod/b Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Don’t suppose the card is still in the glovebox all these years later?
gadgetgricey Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Total long shot, but is there a PC world anywhere near you.Someone in there may have a soldering iron, and may be able to solder the connections back on. Aware that's a big ask, but you don't ask, you don't get,.

loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Will the EKA code still be viable? Believe from previous posts it's a JDM car with a different immobilizer/alarm Would Ken / Jon know or have record of the code?
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Feel really guilty now. Can't even go out cos I'm on my own with kids, one of whom was sent home from school ill this afternoon.Don't be, not your fault!
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 I'm also assuming that the battery cage would work just in contact, rather than soldered? TdB suggests it looks like it was glued on previously
scaryoldcortina Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah, I'd be trying to hold it in place while pushing buttons and praying. Joey spud 1
sporty-shite Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I'm sure Ken have me a file of stuff when I picked this up, but I'm fucked if I can find it, which irritates me greatly. I'll keep looking, in case it yields a mystery number or some such. loserone 1
Mally Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah, I'd be trying to hold it in place while pushing buttons and praying. How many hands have you got? Aston Martin 1
Junkman Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 He's been to a French barber. No mean feat considering how closed they usually are. Epik Woollard Phale btw.
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Naw, that was the barbers in our pit village. I haven't been..
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 An contingent of helpers has been unable to fix it, so they're getting some food and then I'll call breakdown.. going to be a late one
Dave_Q Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Status update? Would have thought the fob would work with the battery cage just held in place. Also, have called out autoaid once or twice and never been asked for ID, just to squiggle on a reciept.
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah, it's not working with the new battery or with the cage cleaned up. Obviously I'm in the car, so no ID will be necessary..
Floatylight Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Brings to mind an issue a friend had with a 218sd years ago (N Reg) and had to have someone out when it wouldn't start after having been parked at the local hospital, car was removed by recovery truck and worked fine when back home, only thing it could be put down to was signal being jammed by all the radio kit around the hospital..

busmansholiday Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Bad luck on being spotted skiving. Ha, ha. Many, many years ago, before I met her, Mrs (obviously not then) BMH rang in to her mate's place of work telling them she was was ill and wouldn't be in. Her mate rang her place of work and did the same.Both jumped on a train to Looondoon to watch the tennis. Unfortunately it pissed it down, guess who's picture appeared on the pages of many newspapers? They didn't get sacked but 'torn a strip off' was a mild description.
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Greater Manchester Recovery on their way. I almost hope they don't fix it at the roadside, for I* am probably too tired to drive up for another 2 hours
purplebargeken Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Just caught up on this and via fb messages. No, I never had the EKA. Yes, the fob frequency is a different one to the UK type 'cos Jap import. Same as a Defender I think.....
loserone Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Cheers Ken, was so pleased to have found you on Facebook anyway. It will soon* be in Scaryoldcortina's safe hands as it's being dragged back behind a van. purplebargeken 1
