Hi Guys, got a problem with the Mrs's 2004 Punto Active Sport 8v.
Car was stolen (keys stolen from house), but recovered soon after with no damage.
Decided to change locks in case they came back again.
Bought a 2nd hand lock set with correct numbers, together with the matching fuse box, body brain and ECU.
Changed all locks including ignition barrel, everything works fine except the display panel on the clocks flashes. It stops after about 20 mins, but flashes everytime you start the car.
I was warned when I purchased the lock set etc that this may happen, and that I'd need the matching clocks too. I didn't want to do this as the car has only done 12,000 miles.
Can this be cured through programming, or this proxy alignment I've read about? Or do I have to buy the matching clocks and pay to have the mileage 'corrected'.
I have searched, but this happens when others have changed the clocks, whereas I have changed everything else bar the clocks.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
