Renault Kangoo Van
Discussion
I've just acquired a 2001 Renault Kangoo van.
The ignition barrel was replaced in its former life as a key snapped of. The button on the remote doesn't work. The door locks open with a different key, but this is bent and you have to do it at a certain angle to lock and unlock it.
I want to replace all the locks and ideally have it working from the remote, central locking (the central locking button in the van itself works).
Where do I start, and would it be easier paying someone else to do it?
I tried to join the Renault forums but despite a multitude of different combinations of usernames and email addresses it tells me I'm a spammer.

Well that was eventful!
Tried what you said, then put the key in the ignition, turned it to II and I heard a relay click and the lights on the dash came on for an absolute blip of a second, blink and you'd miss, it then nothing.
Turned the key back and forth pressing and holding the button no joy.
In frustration I clicked the button several times outside the ignition and all of a sudden the van beeped and the fob then worked to lock and unlock all the doors (except drivers). This works fine now, beeps and side lights flash to lock and unlock. Alarm worked as well as I locked it with fob, then unlocked it without fob and the alarm went off till I pressed the fob.
Immobiliser still having none of it though....
