Tech 2 will do it but it will also have to be 'divorced' from the old car too if it's second hand. If it doesn't come divorced, you will need at least the car passes from the old car and his Zafira to program it.

Same as decoded. Always remembered it as divorced and married thats all! It'll have to be decoded from the old car before it can be coded to the new one.

Ask away!

Makes it easier if it's decoded from the old car whilst it's still in it but as far as I know it can be decoded when it has been fitted to the new car as long as you have the car pass with the security code on it. Either way, it has to be decoded one way or another before it can be paired to the Zafira  :y

Why does it need a new pump tho? Hard to start 1st thing ?
Also it can be over £2000 for 1 supplied and fitted by vx,if hard to start its often diagnoised ad faulty pump,most of the time its the leak of pipes that go brittle and leak air into the fuel system :y
