I've got an 06 Punto and lost the 1 3 button fob I had, a locksmith was out the other day and "programmed" a new one but after doing it it wouldn't work from the fob ie opening and closing, started it ok but that's it.
The original I had worked fine but not the new one, I specifically asked before he came if he could do it "yes no problem it'll work from the fob".
When he realised it wouldn't he said "did the last key work" I said yes he then said it must be the car or a fuse, I said I wasn't a problem before.
I then said do I still need to pay the price for a fob that's fully working, he said yes as I've still programmed it and said if it wasn't it wouldn't start it.
I'm not impressed at all, have I been ripped off.
When I say that what I mean is did he know he couldn't programme it but said he could just to get the money/ job.
