Earth the +ve lead (not while its still connected to the battery terminal)for a few minutes sometimes clears the error.....

Where would that be? Dont want to start pulling wires all over the place! lol

Well, if you have to disconnect it from the battery first it must be the

+ve on the battery terminal.... :-))

Four digit code. We got ours from Renault UK at Acton. They produce it from computer if you have V5. Very useful when baby lost key for a few days. I do not believe there is any other synchronisation

The Renault place in Birkenhead denied any existence of such a method of disabling the immobiliser when my key packed up a couple of years back. The second key was unavailable at the time so ended up waiting a week for a new key and paying the thick end of £100 for key plus programming. Ouch!
