Some helpful Notes.

When turning the key in the lock it must be done with precision and slowly. On some worn locks, you may have to turn the key slightly past the central upright position.
If you listen closely you should be able to hear the switches clicking inside the lock.
Sometimes you need to add one digit to the second and fourth digits of the EKA code, as the MGR database has sometimes not been accurate
For entering accuracy, it's quite useul to nudge the key ever so slightly past the centre mark, to ensure that the lock has registered a zero point

Is there a way of finding the code if you have lost the security card?

Yes with the diagnostic kit used to programme the fobs at a dealers or your local garage.

Russell retreived mine for me using his T4 testbook.
Doesn't help you in Australia though.

Thank you for the quick reply. As David pointed out I am having problems find someone to do this in Australia.

Check MG Rover codes in the glove box.
That's how I got mine.

Don't know if they will supply to Oz but worth a try.
Hope you get it sorted.

Good call! No reason why they won't do it for you in Oz.

Chaps,

Many thanks. But the glovebox?
