It wont be f**ked .... chances are very slim .... there is a sequence u have to go thru i believe with the keyfob once installed .... i didnt fit mines myself so not sure of this sequence .... hopefully someone will be able to advise you on this quickly .

 

[Clarkie172]

anyone else no?who fittted one themself???

Is it brand new?

 

[Clarkie172]

yes mate

 

[jph172]

The ECU i got from BB Tuning was just swapped over and it fired up straight away

 

[Clarkie172]

is it worth disconnecting the batt,then re connect and use origional keyfob straight away, rather than clifford?i used the clifford one when i connected the battery up first. will this make a diff?

 

[jph172]

Can you not put the original ECU back in?
I did hear that it could immobolise the car

 

[Dean]

why would he want to put the original ecu back in when hes just bought this r sport one!

 

[Clarkie172]

im going bk to work in a bit m8. ill try the old ecu see if it starts. if it does then its the rsport.

if it does start and i put the rsport bk in, ill try origional keyfob and see if that works?

 

[Clarkie172]

i have tried what ppl have told me and it appears my rsport aint going to work!the origional still starts the car tho!

what shall i say to rsport?is it my fault?can i get a refund????

 

[Dean]

what a nitemare dude!

shame about that would be nice to see if it made any diffrence!

Give them a call and explain, hopfeully theres a simple sequence to follow.

If the worst comes to the worst, did you pay using a credit card?

 

[Clarkie172]

i did mate

Im sure youll get it sorted, probably just a simple mix up.

Let us know when youve spoken to Rsport.

Hes spoken to them, and are sending him a new one.

Must just be the imobilisor code.

I sent him a PM saying that the new ECUs have a blank code in them and the first time they are started the code from the key is written to the ECU. From this point they are paired.

You have to make sure you had secure the battery terminals!!! Not just touching!!! I had the same problem but after it is well connected. Start fine.

My garage friend told me that the connection of battery termainal is very very important when starting the car. It require a lot of volt I think.

clarkie has had a refund now, he got his old ECU back on
