Initially I only got one remote and key with the car,
and so with a single 20+ year old remote I'm a bit worried.
Soo..... I have myself a new key blank and new remote from Rimmers.
What is the best way to get the remote programmed?, remembering I'm down under.
I'm guessing any Rover dealer will charge me a decent amount to do the small job,
I feel I'm better off putting that money towards a pscan.
Sooooo... does the pscan allow me to program a 2nd remote?

Re: Programming new remote
Buying a PScan could be cheaper as going to an original dealer with a T4. Allthough there are plenty of MG(T)F owners with their own T4 over here. But I know The Low countries are not around the corner for you.
The P-Scan is very helpfull and will trace most of the usual isssues with your car, not a bad thing to have, evne when not needed for programming a key.

Re: Programming new remote
IIRC you can program 10 fobs to each car.
When I had 5 cars using the Lucas system I used my pscan to program 2 fobs to each car and another that worked on all of the cars.
