Hi all
I just love the car and despite its got a load of options and as brings a smile to me eveytime I turn the key. BUT my patience is being really pushed.
It stared a few months ago with intermittent faults.
The SAM code is 211 545 5301 5DK 008 047-21
Question is, as the second hand SAM will need reprogramming due to my car being highly spec'd can you get any rear SAM or does it need to be same model numbers. Anyone know what the numbers mean?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Also
Pointers to where to get a user friendly PDF wiring diagram manual from would be helpful
Pointer in, is it possible to DIY star. as currently using Delphi which will not interrogate enough
apologize for not using the correct technical talk but working nights frys the brain.
Ta tar for now

- The cars tyre pressure monitoring would say visit workshop and could not be reset until fuse was pulled and re-installed.
- Rear offside licence plate lamp failure but if restarted car it cleared
- Stereo displayed start up screen but wouldn't work. Again restart car all sorted.
- Then the dreaded battery drain.
- Again battery drained few days later but was using car daily.
- Tyre pressure system again had to be reset via fuse several times
- Now the fount panel ( lifts for CDs ) no power but restart car all working again
- Now the keyless go works on the doors and gear selector BUT the key fod's now stopped working
- Now the fount panel has lost power and all functions and still has not come back
