I recently got the alarm fob very wet ( don't ask ! ) the led didn't light up so I thought the battery had drained due to the water, changed the battery and the led was working whilst pressing the button so I thought all was ok. Wrong, the light on the dash is not going out hence the immobiliser is still on.

The car is a '95 with a wood effect fob, no writing that I can see. Does anyone know a place I can get a replacement, cost, and preferably somebody local to me in Sheffield ? thanks Scott

The Foxguard alarm is self learning and can "remember" up to 4 remotes, so if it originally came with two you can add another one/two on. If you add a fifth one on it knocks off the first one if that makes sense so check all remotes are still working when finished adding new ones.

Have a word with Colin up at Bridgewater and he will tell you how to add them on.

Does the dashboard top have to come off to programme the remote ?

You need access to the alarm module.
