I've no idea Martin what the AA man was thinking. For the record the windscreen washer pump's wiring for your tourer is shown as purple/blue and purple/green.

He is correct about the deadlocking though. MG Rover calls it superlocking. That's what happens when the key fob remote control buttons are used.

Smashing a window won't work I'm afraid. In superlocked mode the internal door handles are disabled and so is the master switch on the centre console.

If you can't get help via the forum you could try contacting Advanced Keys who advertise a new fob complete with PCB. This would have to be programmed to your car and your existing transponder removed from your current key case and fitted into the replacement. You'd also have to get the blade cut.

Or for about £200 you could order a brand new Rover key with all that done for you via BMW.
