Does mine have a BSI? Its a preplexed xs...
We had only been in the pub 10 mins when we had a phone call to say the house had been broken into. That was the longest taxi ride of my life.
It was such a relief to see the car still there though :) |
Of course im glad I still have it but I think that is beside the point really.

all depends where in sheffield you go, i avoid london road at all costs as abuse usually gets shouted if you're walking on your own. Some parts of sheffield are actually quite nice.  Lucky the car was still there mate, hope its not too expensive to fix.

Don't get a new key mate, replace the locks. The last thing you want is the car disappearing 6 months down the line.

ah man that's sh*te!!
i live in barnsely which isn't that far from Sheffield!!
I've also got a 2002 Vectra 2.2 SRi 150. Bought it from a lad at work that had basically thrown away the transponder chip from out of his ONLY car key!! Something was rattling about in his key so he took it apart, found what he thought was a little bit of useless plastic & chucked it in the skip!!
I could've bought a new transponder & paid an autolocksmith to code it. To do that though I would've had to give Vauxhall £28 to obtain the 4 digit code for the immob!! Then another £10 for a transponder chip & about £70 for 2 new keys as i'd want a spare. Then would need them coding which is about £60!!
Instead I just bought a full ECU/immob, lock set & 2 keys off of Ebay for £80. Fitted the parts myeself in about 45mins!! Everything works fine!!

park your car there again, and hide next to it, with a weapon of your choice.

Can't really slag of Sheffield off, my girlfriends car got the exact same treatment in Lincoln. I've lived in the Sheffield area for 23 years been driving for 6 years and never had my car touched (touch wood!) then again, I don't live near the Manor Estates lol.
Don't suppose you left your stereo on show or anything?

My goodness, that's mad! They obviously don't know the proper method of how to break into a 206 then! You've not had much luck with this car
