Keo,
My friends L plate 1.4 petrol metro alarm has just packed in. The remote fob won't switch it off. I've tried two new batteries in the remote, but it still won't switch off. Any ideas? Rover want £100 to sort it!

If you're anywhere near Birmingham try Viking Spares (go down the road beside Kings Norton station).
They've got the proper Austin Rover programming/diagnostic hardware and charge a lot less than a Rover dealer.

the original info i gave was wrong and after checking it out it apparently has to be de-activated by rover although some independants can do it shouldn't cost a oner though as it dont take long my mate done mine at his garage and charged me a beer
sorry but it needs plugged in ...cheers...keo.

Keo,
Thanks. Found an independant locally that can do it. (Needs a new remote apparently).

They have the kit to program in a new plip? That's rare!
