There is also an ELV emulator out there which you plug in and bypasses the steering lock so you never have to think about it ever again, though no steering lock again either.

Also if you remove the leather boot around the gear shifter I believe you can release the leaver to put it in neutral and role the car a bit if you need.
Thanks mate. Yep will definitely have to try getting the counter cleared first.
Trying to read up to see if i have the guts to go through this coding stuff myself haha. Otherwise hoping there is someone on here around the North Melbourne area that might be able to help me out.

Seems like a hassle to get it towed just to get programmed...
