Evening all, right.....my key fob has broke and my car is now stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what to do for the best really, shud i call out the RAC and get towed to the nearest subau dealer? or could someone come out to me and do it? Its been playing up for a while now but usually works on the 2nd click, (its got new batteries before you ask!) any help is appreciated!!

Well you do not want to be towed unless all four wheels on ground otherwise flatbed job only...

You will need a new key and it will need programming to the ECU by a main dealer...

I take it no spare then ?

aparentley subaru cant program me another key fob unless this one works so they can disarm it to progrm the new one, it aparentley needs a new alarm ecu! what?

Quoted £280 by subaru, or an idependant alarm fitter can do me a clifford cat 1 for 170 quid, as long as he can do it, what a joke! theres always something!

Who did you buy the Car from ?
Thinking second Key, it existed so who has it, previous owner, main dealer ???????

May be worth trying to hunt it down....
