They also do a pro version for a little more money. Is it worth getting that or is the basic version more than adequate? I am serious about investing in this system as I have other electrical issues with the car that this may help me overcome without having to go to a dealership. What software will I require?

Many thanks for the help Paul. I will see who I can find in the local area who may be able to do a call out. Failing that I will have to get the car recovered to a specialist.

On a different note regarding your post could you tell me where I can obtain the software and hardware you mention in your post, which, I assume, can be run off a standard laptop; and the price I may expect to pay?

Many thanks for all your help anyway. I will look online to see if I can find a related manual. Thank you.

Yes I have checked it since the problem. I checked it when I disconected the battery in the hope that would cure the problem, as it would with a power brake lock on.

Many thanks for quick reply but I don't think that is the solution in this case as I have just had a new battery fitted and the voltage is good.

I seem to be having multiple problems with the electrics of a recently purchased 2007 2.7 diesel S type. Since purchase the central locking function of the key fob has been iffy but I was content to open the door with the key. Recently the key failed to open the door at all and when I eventually gained entry and inserted the key into the ignition the steering lock failed to disengage and hence the car will not start and is now a temporary (I hope) feature of my local LIdl car park. Can anyone offer a solution so that I can at least start the car and drive it to a garage who can diagnose the electrical problems I am encountering.
