key change

[PITOURET]

hello

rover 75 diesel 2003 tourer

my garage changed all locks with a replacement lock kit from x part

since then the engine immobilise warning light flashes

they configured the keys and ignition with their computer

xpart says this is not possible

what are they doing wrong

the car is in france with the old rover garage now volvo

thanks for help

If they only changed the locks and keys, sounds like they didn't transfer the immobiliser chip from the old keys to the new ones.

I expect they programmed the car to the keys, which is only for the for the alarm/remote locking function. The immobiliser is a separate part of the key which is fixed and cannot be re-programmed (as X-Part have confirmed)

hello ray

about the original key

how would they open the key to access the chip ?

[raykay]

Using a small screwdriver (or similar) open the key as if changing the battery, the immobiliser chip is in a recess in one side of the case.
