French Car RANT

[mawse]

Same, never buy French again, but i know what it is, its plastered all over the net. The crummy build of the card causes the internal coil to snap off meaning the car doesn recognise the card. I have brought a new coil to solder in but it probaly wont trun up for a good few days

Sorry to disagree. Ive driven renault cars for over 15 years with this type of key and have never had a problem.

Have you tried the seconed key yet????

Not if you buy second hand.And what was ever wrong with an ignition key? Complicated technology just for the sake of it.

Keyless systems are becoming common on more bikes now too.Ive seen posts by BMW K1600 owners who accidently locked their wireless key in the rear box just out of the 1 meter signal reach of the airial so couldnt unlock the case.

Yeah,I've read of a bike journalist leaving the key fob for a Ducati Multistrada (I think) on top of a petrol pump and not realising until he was about 100 miles up the road!

Serves you right for buying French :whistle:

Buy anything Jap and you still get a PROPER KEY

Nothing fancy but a key, is a key
