  • We used this website to fix our condensor dryer ourselves.
    We were quoted by various ppl £70 plus callout. We fixed it for £30.00 (just by ordering the part off the internet).

    Priceless! :)

    Thanks for that Damski. I haven't used that one before but it looks good, the one we normally use is https://www.diynot.com which we usually find excellent, but one can never have enough advice when dealing with a broken piece of kit

    yes they do, but they are dead cheap (2 for £3)

    easy to reset the fob

    turn the key to position 2 and off again 4 times in a row

    you will hear a beep if you have got this part right

    then take the key out of the ignition and lock and unlock the car using the remote buttons

    you will hear a beep again if you have done it correctly

    thats it

    done !!!!!!!!!!

    a fortune saved
