I just bought another (used) UCH for £20 and paid auto electrician £40 to remove the immobiliser/coded part and swap over. Took about an hour all in.
Well done for tackling it yourself though.
Put it on the drivers armrest or the rear transmission tunnel, let it off and s**t the doors. Lock the car. Don't open it for 12 hours.
I did my Impreza back in November/December and it still smells of it!

In reality, it could have been a few things really.
But I'm...
I could send the kids to my parents,
(they'd enjoy it more for starters!) but if anything happened to Jo and I'm 4 hours away, pissed, I'd never forgive myself.
Sam is asking Mrs Sam today, but it's looking like they're on holiday ('Murica) for it. I'll update later on.
I'm excited....
That is f**king epic.
As much as I'd like to own one, I'd never drive it. You'd look like a right c**t.
I look forward to progress pictures!!
