Here Brian, this wouldn't be the code would it? Came with my car... And who's this Julian? Oh - apparently it means my car was built on January 23rd, 687. I guess that explains why the suspension is falling apart.

Oh blood… oh no sorry, the forum will see that as a naughty word, won’t it. There was me keeping that card safe for the last 10 years, when I don’ even HAVE locking wheel nuts. OK, look, life can be depressing, so I’m always up for a laugh, and I’m thinking of having a go at this myself using your TOAF procedure, as suggested by Vitesse. I just realised that my girlfriend, who works for the largest metal recycling company in Ireland, has loads of contacts in the scrapper trade, so might be able to get me a key or two – if not, I’ll try the chap you mentioned. I’ve never used TOAF, but hopefully if I follow your procedure to the letter I won’t get myself in trouble. Must just check that cable I have in the garage, but I think it’s the ELM type, which won’t work…? I'll go and dig it out now... if it's no good, maybe you can recommend a cheapo one for me Okily dokily, not looking good, is it... and even if it were suitable, the case doesn't seem to open to short the 2 requisite pins...

By-the-way, no stranger to the Julian calendar here, used it for many years in the navy (radio), we'd number days of the year as it was a short form of expressing the date and even our American cousins wouldn't get confused. Regards |

OK… so I tried to follow Brian’s procedure, but sadly didn’t get very far. And now no Brian
First I soldered pins 7&8 together, and got TOAF connected straight away. Unfortunately, however, when I click the BCU button in TOAF, it tells me the BCU isn't present… anybody know what to do now?

Thanks Alan... -43 is the one that's supposed to do keys, but trouble is, both versions say the BCU isn't present. I don't have any BCU malfunctions, as far as I know - everything in the car seems to work...
