I presume replacing it with an aftermarket system would be expensive and difficult? I might ask Peter if he has anymore working receivers, he's sorting me out a quad modded set of import rear lights at the moment anyway. Thank you for your help

And for anyone that's interested, the following is my old MR2... but again I've only just got around to Photobucket-ing it all and I can't be bothered looking for a thread I made about it

I'm really terrible at updating this, but I've finally got around to sorting out my Photobucket and I'll try to update it regularly

Mine's very temperamental, sometimes it works fine and I can open it from my house front door... sometimes I have it pressed up against the windscreen and it still refuses to unlock. Is replacing the receiver the only real option then? My car is a '98 so finding a much newer one would be difficult.....

Is it a case of moving the receiver then? Could it be put in the frunk somewhere? http://forums.mr2oc.co.uk/forums/41/158802.html Mentions the use of a mk3 MR2 alarm? And I've seen that guide, had to for my old MR2 as the previous owner had let the batteries die completely in the fobs and they had &...

Thank you, brief bit of research indicates more or less any TVSS system can be wired in - most easily Rav4/mk3 MR2 systems, both of which go for cheaply on eBay. Next on my list of things to do!

Just need a fix for the fobs now!

Ah... well that's good to know! Any recommended fixes? Not sure I like the idea that the only thing capable of alerting me to my car being stolen is some strobing hazard lights... also, would it void the insurance?

Haha, I'll try...!

Alas, the battery is not at fault... I've already replaced it with a brand new one to see if that would fix the problem, but it's still being hopeless. And ah ok, how would I go about deliberately setting the alarm off to see if it has been disabled or not? And if it has, how do I go about re enabli...

Anybody?

Mm, not sure how well that would go down... :p

I certainly hope to try and make it, never been before but it sounds like a good laugh and it would be good to put some faces to names. Only obstacle to overcome is that it's right over my girlfriends's birthday... some heavy convincing may need to take place!

That'd be me!

Well, you know where I live! I'll be out of work by about 7:30 this evening, and Sundays/Monday are my days off... so feel free to pop over whenever. Nice to know there's a fellow IMOCer nearby!

Haha thank you, as does yours! I was thinking of doing a similar thing to my rear lights, would be good to get a close up look at yours at some point!

Maybe it's a different one, but there's one that parks down by the McDonald's sometimes. And yep, that's me!

Potentially a weird question, but do you live in Kingston? I swear I've seen this car go past me so many times, and I swear I've seen it parked up in Surbiton a few times...

Will do, thanks Nic. And I might just pop in when I'm feeling a bit richer, thanks Dexter

Both of my MR2s have had pretty hopeless remote alarm fobs, often ending with me looking a p*llock wandering around the car jabbing at the button for ages before the car unlocks... I should clarify, by "ages", it's more like 20 seconds, but still, I'm used to cars unlocking from a good 20 ...

Sorry Nic, I presumed you'd seen the thread as you mentioned Powerflow shortly after he offered his! He doesn't seem convinced it's all stainless steel, though for the sake of £20 or whatever I'm tempted to give it a try. And thanks Dexter, not as expensive as I was expecting! What do you do, just g...
