think you have been misinformed
but not gonna argue the point
cos just cant be bothered

Thanks very much;

That website is useful. I spent Friday phoning up the garage which was on
the service history invoice, a peugeot dealer they guided me to, and the
original dealer in London who sold the car. If I needed the radio code it
would have been perfect because they all gave me that!

However, none could give me the code for the immobiliser. What was
interesting though was that they all gave me completely different answers
to my questions. They were all extremely helpful it has to be said, but the
answers ranged from needing a new keypad at £149 + VAt and then
reprogramming (another £60) to needing a complete ECU at £600!! they all
said that they could not find out the code if it had been changed from the
factory setting, as the only person who knew this was the last owner. But
one dealer said that could override the system using the diagnostics
machine (not find the code but just switch the whole thing off?) But the
other dealer said they could override the system only by removing the whole
thing manually which would take 2.5 hours at £80 an hour.  

This left me somewhat confused. What I really don't understand is that it
is just a circuit board carrying a signal like any keypad and if companies
like the one you posted on your thread exist why can't peugeot just plug
into the back of the keypad or ECU and let the machine read the code
without the need for all the fuss, they must get phone calls all the time
about the things especially looking at other threads on the topic.

Anyway, thanks very much, the good news is that I had written to the
previous owner as a last resort not even knowing if it was the correct
address. Well, this morning I got a phonecall from the owner who told me
the code!!

Hi

I forgot to say, If you have the very early infra red type keys then you
need to point the remote at the receiver in the roof consul.
Just pop the key blade out from the remote fob & use some pliers to turn it
in the ignition.
If you have RF keyfobs you obviously dont need to aim the remote anywhere.

Also if you have a GLX, SRI or Executive on a N, P or early R plate then it
also has a total closure feature built in.

Open all 4 electric windows, Deadlock the car with the remote, Big button
first then within 3 seconds the small button & watch the windows shut
themselves.

Is there any reason why the above might not work? I've tried it many times
and although each step is confirmed with the right number of beeps, I still
need the code every time :(
