306 S16 1995 Plip locks - hm
Hi all,

The plip on my 306 S16 1995 was slowly become more of a hassle to open the car.....you had to play with it on the windscreen...eventally it stopped working from the outside, but did when you were in the car.

My thoughts....battery...right, replaced the batteries, now it will not work at all. I have tried to 're-program' but still no luck.

I was just wondering if when these babies pack-up do they just die, or die slowly?

Any thoughts would be a great help.

(now driving a 306 S16....changed the old 306 DT after 168K..still miss her (and the fuel bills))

All,

I have fixed the problem....I removed the reciever unit from the car...there was indication that it had been damp, so I took to it with some WD40 and a tooth Brush, cleaned all the contacts and the ciruit board...works a treat.....
