ok now that I have an AU you guys can expect an influx of questions, sorry about that.
The fairmont I picked up on the weekend has an aftermarket key fob/ central locking thing. Whats required to get a new fcatory one? Does it have to be programmed as such? Reason I ask is because I might look at ebay etc, but if it requires programming then it might be easier to go to the local dealer. Any idea of prices aswell?

Nah no alarm, he just lost the original fob. The aftermarket one is tacky and non functional.

What? I mean the thing you press for central locking (the job) is a budget looking aftermarket one that doesn't work. Just want a factory one to replace it.

They're about $70odd new from Fraud (Ford) LOL!
They usually go for up to $55 on ebay. I'd probably buy one new. They have a tendancy to break. The battery cradle (sort of like a clasp/claw on a diamond ring that holds the ring) breaks. I've got three remotes, one purchased last week on the forum and all have this breakage to varying degrees. If I had my time again, I'd go with a new item from Ford. When you're changing the battery, it puts stress on the cradle (as described above LOL!). JC is right about the learning procedure though. Easy as. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...6&postcount=93 Here's a link to the procedure. All the best with it. GK
