My brother in law has a 97 Megane but there's a problem with the Immobiliser. It won't unlock remotely and thus won't start. He has been using the bypass code which is a pain in the tits.
Anyone any experience with these? The key seems to be ok just wondering is there an easy bypass or something.
Might try another IR reciever if I can pick one up cheap.
I'd love to get it sorted for him as it's a grand little runaround just let down by this fault.
Oh dear God, the dreaded Renault disease which I had the unfortunate pleasure of having for many years before a lot of counselling got me out of that and into BM's.Quote:

only nice Renaults are the 19 16 valve or 21 turbo. the rest are scrap
Have you tried replacing the key battery?? If that doesn't work you can manually re-configure the key fob by holding down the central locking button and clicking the fob button a few times, I've done it before in work, saves a lot of hassle/time/money

like the above said if it costs more than 100 don't bother,ive had the misfortune of buying a Renault because it had cheap tax and thought it would save a few euro a few years ago,had the car a week and hated the fucking heap of shite,had fresh nct and all drove ok except for loosing power after about 10 miles,usual Renault faults,brought it to a garage to trade it in as the week was long enough to own the heap,please don't let him spend hard earned cash on a car probably worth 200 euro,there is always better options than French.
you can tell how much I hate these cars from above :).
