Remote locking fobs
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:35 am
Can any member who owns a Rover 827, circa 1993-95, who has a working remote locking fob please help me with the part and type numbers that are embossed on the back.
I have recently bought a 1995 Rover 827 (resplendent in Nightfire Red) that was originally exported to Japan and then imported into New Zealand early in 2003. During its moves it has lost both its fobs, and I would like to have the convenience of remote locking, but need to find the right type. I understand that the later 825s had a transponder in them, as well, to unlock the engine immobiliser, so virtually all 825s I have seen in NZ still have their remote locks.
I have a local locksmith with the correct computer equipment to reprogramme the car/remote to work together, but I do need to make sure I get the right type, and without one to start with, this is a tad tricky.
Can anyone out there help me?
