Hi all,

Just replaced the central locking receiver on my 156 under the boot becasue
it was locking the car and not unlocking it with the remote key button.
However now I have replaced it the car neither locks nor un-locks with the
remote key button.

Do I need to get the reciever configured for the key?

and if so how much?

You must programme it with examiner and enter new keys

Whats an examiner - and where do I get one  and what new keys must I have?

Youre gonna need to explain it a little more...

Obviously I can get it done at Alfa but how much will they rip me off???

"Examiner" would seem to be the name of the Alfa Romeo Computer Diagnostic
System.

Pity all Alfa Service Centres don't offer the same deal.

Great idea but look at the cost per computer from that article
30,000.00 Malaysia Ringgits     =     4,494.01 GBP

You take your car and all the keys to your local dealer, who uses his
"Examiner" diagnostic system to re-programme the receiver and keys to match.

Probably cost you around an hours labour plus vat, etc.

Huh? You really do have problems with Alfa dealers in the UK, don't you.
Unless the system has drastically changed since my 146 was built, it's
about five minutes work for the dealer.

Nice quick and easy - 15 min job. £46 Just needed to recode the keys to the
new receiver. My car is finally ready to sell...

Well done. Good luck. Hope you find a happy punter and move on to
your new car soon.
