I have a MGTF 04 plate 135 with the oval key fob. A couple of weeks ago I drove 300 miles from Norwich-Blackpool with no problems. The car was left on my drive for 2 weeks due to ordering a new rear window etc...
My key fob won't work. Every time I try to start my car it beeps like crazy. I've tried fitting a new battery, charging the battery, jump starting etc... But, it seems like there is an immobiliser problem???
I've been quoted £160-£180 by a local MG specialist who believes its the key fob? He says £80 for key fob plus labour which is steep in my humble opinion.
It's due an MOT in just over one week, I just don't know what to do. I don't want to throw loads of money as I'm in the process of selling it for another car.
Could this fix my problem? Do it myself?...

I've tried the EKA code with no results, and I only have the one key fob. Silly of me really to buy a car with one key fob I know!
