Problem car is a 406 HDi estate. When purchased it came with just one key.
The metal key blade ONLY operates the steering lock/ignition, it does not work the doors. It is likely that the steering lock has been changed at some time. The seller said 'The door locks don't work so I just use the plip'.
Unfortunately the plip rubber button perished and swelled-up. This pressed the plip microswitch and generated codes all night (in the morning the coin cell was flat) I have had the plip-key reconditioned but after generating thousands upon thousands of codes it is out of sync. One has to get into the car to do the reset but I'm locked out! The Peugeot dealer said 'Smash a window" but is there a better way? (the locks just spin). Benjamin May 10, 2016 12:47.
