Hi my fob wasn't working very well, it would need a couple of goes sometimes to open the doors. So gave it to a bloke in a key cutting place to check battery and he said it was holding a good charge. after he replaced it the thing wouldn't work at all. A man in M53 ford garage said the battery had been left out to long and now it needs reprograming so he tried doing it by turning on and off the ignition a number of times first 5 then 10. Still no good. He recommended a key/secure shop who then also tried it saying you do it 6 times but still no joy. He mentioned it could be a different number of times depending on the year. So does anyone know how to reset the key on my connect 2010. And do you go from possition one to lights or completely off to lights. Would rearly appreciate some help.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum as I just got a 2010 T230. Everything seems fine with it except when I change from 2nd to 3rd there is a slight grind. Nothing to loud or crunching just a slight grind. Enough to put a potential buyer off. As I bought it from an auction I couldn't have foreseen this. It had no Mot so I just put it through one with no problems. I asked the mechanic to take it for a drive and he said he never noticed anything. Now I know it's there im able to avoid the grinding by just slowing down with my gear change slightly. The van has only done 67k with good service history. May it just be low on oil or is there some cable that may need adjusting. Hope it's an easy fix as my intension is to sell it on so any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks Tony.
