Anyone got one? anyone know where the one that silverstone had ended up?

I dread to think how much a visit to chrysler will cost me and after the total lack of interest from them when i was trying to get a battery I'm not looking forward to a visit.

Bloody annoying the chrysler dealer that was helpful has gone out of business and the only other localish one don't seem interested in staying in business

not sure where it ended up he did want about £3G for it at the time, i remember Chuck saying you'd need to be a dealer though to get it updated. What are you trying to do with it? I used my local dealership for the DRB for a couple of things when i first got the GTS, FOC ! having said that it was under warranty

Whitehouse is surely not that far from you?

Baz got me a new Mopar battery for under a ton in the summer

Dealer will charge you around the £60 mark to scan and reset... Dads Jag was done at main dealer last week...

The Silverstone DRB Tool is still fro sale as far as i know....
The Scan tool that roe sells is pretty good for just reading codes and reseting but thats about it..It will not give you live data..

I'm trying to programme new key fobs but all the instructions don't seem to be working, get the flashing led but no horn chirps when i press the fob buttons

Was charged £50 to turn on the horn with the alarm. which was a bit cheeky as
1) they should have done it when it came off the boat 5 years previous
2) i had driven halfway across the country to get the frame recall done, they had the car for a week and the clutch smelt burnt when i got it back.

London is in the way, would they be worth it though?

I very much doubt he would lend it out...
The Chrysler garage that i use would do it but its in Bedford....They used to look after Simon Elliotts vipers..

Baz had a remote re-programmed by a dealership for his RT, so he will know the cost of that

i drove to Whitehouse for the steering repair has they had done the most in the UK, one days fix with a bit of service work while it was on the ramps, free PT cruiser courtesy car for the day, digi photos of the work and a couple phone calls throughout the day by the service manager, excellent service !! wouldnt go to any other dealearship for some major like that, though for a couple of remotes your local guys can surely sort that out

Hi Dave
I've got the Silverstone DRB and you're very welcome to borrow it. I think I'm right in saying that you're only around the corner from me in Camberley?
Yours Harry
