Hi Everyone,
I bought my 306 in a hurry, after my Passat cam belt went and this was better deal than new engine, from a neighbour with such low mileage (genuine) and it's been brilliant for the last two years, now nearer 45,000.
I'm getting on a bit and don't like working on the car as much as I used to in my 20s/30s so am really pleased that it's been so reliable. I treat it as a workhorse and it's full of hay or dogs or plants so it's always dirty but it doesn't take offence!
I should say that the reason I'm here is because I've messed up the alarm/immobiliser system and Peugeot garage that was bought from don't know anything about one this old (factory installed and have Peugeot manuals).
This is what happened: I accidentally left keys in ignition (after putting windows up as raining). Battery went flat so charged it. Now immobiliser won't de-immobilise, all lights come on, alarm goes off, starter motor runs but doesn't fire. Apparently there should be a code on a card which I can use to reset it (number put in by turning ignition on and off according to number of flashes on dashboard!) but I can't find the card so it seems that I've lost it.
Now the car's just sitting there and I don't know what to try next! Garages must be able to reset when they remove a battery to replace, so very confused that our Peugeot knows nothing about this type of immobiliser. I wonder if RAC/AA know anything.
