Hi
I hope somebody can help me before i go mad, last week i broke the chip in my only key, so i took a key,transponder pats, steering lock from a running car, and now it still wont start i found this on a website.

as far as I'm aware the key is matched to the ecu and pats ring

Yup, think you need to change the ECU too. the transponder ring around the ignition barrel just reads the key then sends the code to the ecu.
