Where to get spare immobiliser fob...
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:47 pm
First let me tell you a story 
Yesterday, my lovely wife offered to help a friend by picking up a washing machine from her house to take to someone else. You know, now we have a van to help do these things. We get to the house to go pick up said washing machine, she steps out of the Bongo, goes to lock it up, then immediately drops the key (by accident I hope!) down the drain that's so conveniently placed right under the drivers door...
Cue a few tears on her side, not to mention a few swear words on my part. You see whilst we have two sets of keys for the Bongo, we only have just the one immobiliser fob. Guess which ones fell in the drain...
Anyway, this story has a happy ending. After the neighbour, am avid fisherman, leapt to our help with all manner of nets, we managed to retrieve the keys. I suspect the smell will fade with time
But it was a timely warning that maybe I should get a spare fob... If... I can work out what make and where to get one! I figured someone on here may know!
It looks like this...
(Note the hair band is holding it together!)
And goes into a slot like this on the Dash (right hand side)...
Which I'm assuming is factory fitted? Or am I miles off?
And yes, I am also going to get a cork ball to put on the keyring so next time they float and are easier to retrieve!
