Is it just the S1 dizzy that suffers failure or can it happen to the S3 as well?
Also, is there any way to tell which brand of moby is fitted without actually removing it (i.e VIN number, manufacture date etc)?
Cheers for any advice

Re: Couple of questions
there were only 2 makes of moby as far as I'm aware, the Bosch one is fitted to early cars, which came with a fob, which you press to disarm the moby, or the Temic one on later cars, which has a chipped key, you just have to insert your key and start it up.
I'm no expert, but I believe that the S1 is associated with the Bosch and the S3 the Temic, it's the Bosch that causes the problems, which leads me to believe that the S3 would be fine, but not infallible (a bit like myself
)

Re: Couple of questions
can you post a picture of your key that you do have, both sides. From that we can tell if it's an aftermarket one, a chipped key or not, but if you Have a S1 dizzy, than it's probabaly an early car, so no chipped key. If that is the case and your car was running until the dizzy failure, then all you will need is a replacement key.
Pictures will help, just add via the add image to post at the bottom of where you write your response.
