Gone are the wonderful days of no electronics, just a lovely old carburettor!! So now it's all about computers that run everything. We have the engine computer (ECU) and we have the everything else computer (BSI). If any of these go wrong, the whole set must be replaced (ECU and BSI and the locks), if you dare to jump start a car it will 'corrupt' your BSI which will need reprogramming.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they made a car that still had a carb and you put your key in the lock to get in..............yes you would lose 10mpg but you wouldn't be paying thousands for new electronics over the years!!
