This car is in fine condition and relatively low mileage but is this fault going to kill it?
Customer lost the key fobs ages ago after they ceased working and has relied on the key for some years. However, it looks as if the lock/switches in the driver's door are now so worn that you can play for ages locking and unlocking the door until the system disarms.
I have looked at removing the system completely but cannot locate the control box. I cannot find any wiring information; neither does a search of the Net reveal much except that the system is virtually woven in to the car's electrics, making it very difficult/expensive to deal with.
There are a number of archive posts on Rover security (Lucas 5AS) but I am seeking any additional advice or information please.
Is there a proven way to remove or disable this system?
