Mine decide not to work this morning, so I can't start the van (At least I know it works). Anyone in CL land know about these, or know anyone who knows someone who knows about them:
I'm pretty much screwed, but don't really need the van until 4/5am on Tuesday....Would appreciate any Help with this.
Thanks in advance...

Not being funny but the one on my motorbike just needed a new battery in the fob. Have you tried this already?I'm pretty much screwed, but don't really need the van until 4/5am on Tuesday....Would appreciate any Help with this.Thanks in advance...MoG.

The "fob" is basically the problem I think. Its broke.0

If you have changed fob battery, tried the spare fob (if you have one) it may be a case of a dealer call-out.
By nature there is little information in the public domain (certainly for motorbikes) as it would only help the tea leaves.

tends to be a dealer solution when it's a damaged fob0 -

This is the problem......
Dealer fixed mine - take the fob in, I'm sure they will oblige.

(Should have said my problem was with my Triumph!)FM, Mazda stopped making Vans afew years back, but will find our "Local" dealer and ask. Thanks again.
Good luck - didnt know they didnt still make vans. Presumably Mazda car dealer should be able to help.
Hope it gets sorted.

Bloody "elf & safety": The Mazda vans have the engine under the seats but a few years back it was decided that this was "dangerous". The thing is, now carpets come 4 metres wide (rather than the old 12foot) all "newer" vans have to leave the back doors open (ooh-er missus) when loaded: The engine being at the Front of the van making it shorter inside. This is why I love my old R reg motor.... ;-)E-mailed & phoned (left messages) 5 companies yesterday.....

Purely a guess, but I'd imagine that the ignition system on the vans was probably the same system they used on their cars, as tends to be the case with most these days, so Mazda dealers should still be able to do something with it.

One thing Mog won't relish the thought of is having to deal with a main agent....you rarely get out the door without spending at least a oner these days!
Thieving buggers that they are.

If my fob breaks there is a keyhole in the dash and a code in the handbook and with a good bit of messing about the car should start.Ive never used it thankfully but it would get you out of a hole until you can get a new fob.0
