Hi, car won't start! Symptoms . Parked up at home , went to start and the batter was flat. Unusual after only 4 days. Charged batter up. She turns over well , but not fuel pump prime and the relay is clattering. Changed the relay and still the same. I then put power to the pump via the connector and she fires up , but I now notice the fuel pump running continuously , is it ok to drive it like this? The other strange thing is that previously to alarm and dis alarm I would normally Put the key in the door lock, it's a 1994 , push down and turn to turn on one off the alarm/immobiliser. It does not do this any more. But when connecting power to the connection I put the wire in the wrong terminal and the alarm/immobiliser Cherped up??? Any clues to what's gong on. After a search I have changed both relays, but will only run if direct power to the pump via the connector. Can I drive it with the pump continuously on? Any advice and guidance much appreciated . Thanks

Steve, many thanks. I am using the correct relays , just checked. So how do I go about and fix the problem? I can't just run about with a wire into the pump feed? Could it be immobiliser connected?? If so anyone know of a person in the Cambridge area who could remove and by pass it?? Why would the relay clatter? Thanks

Help need again, I basically added another relay to the fuel pump side and all works ok. Driving perfectly. BUT I noticed the green light on the central knob was lit. So I pressed it. All power went and coasted into lay by. Started up ok. When the door is open and I press the lit button nothing happened, but when the door is shut pressing the green light cuts the power.
Where do I need to be looking. Remove the alarm/immobiliser . I have never used it so not fussed about having one. Could somebody advise how I remove/bypass the immobiliser ?
