i was told, flatly, not long after here i registered here that it could not be done. but a little thought told me that was bollocks. if you've got a donor car you can take everything off that you need, not just the ecu but the pats transponder pickup round the ignition barell and the associated boxes, then get the key transponder code copied onto a blank and have it cut to your van. simples.

you get told a lot of things that arnt true i was told you couldnt redrill mk4 hubs :lol:

easier on a mk4 as you can fit the lock into the transit door :idea: i think somone on here was doing one and had the scorpio door resting up against the side of the van - somehow the lock is incorperated in the imobiliser and you needed to unlock it before starting it :lol:

end of the day gav you've got the better and easier one to do it on :idea: :D
