Is this an immobiliser or what?

As title.

While I'm waiting for my engine I'm fiddling about the car.

If this isn't needed, it might as well go!

Any ideas, it's the central ally box and the battery on the right, (rechargable I guess).

[carsy]

Thought you were building the engine yourself Peter. Or are you just waiting for machining work to be done.

Sorry, no idea on the box thingy.

[Bassfiend]

That's rather more likely to be a tracker or similar if it has an external battery...

Ian, when the cam/followers failed for whatever reason it was in the middle of my busy season so as much as I enjoy a build and a challange I took the decision to outsource.

Phil, you may be right.
Could I just disconnect it?

[Bassfiend]

As far as I remember they were never an active part of the alarm system of a vehicle and simply had a power feed to them so you should simply be able to disconnect it and not affect the operation of your alarm.

That battery will almost certainly be well and truly fooked anyway.

Another 'thingy box' in my boot. See MOTOROLA, but my radio is a JVC.

Thanks Andy. Another previous owner mystery solved. Some loose wires also. May have been connected to a battery sometime.

So it's not a flux capacator. Damn. I thought we were onto something here

[EGB]

Sorry Chilli. What's a flux copactor?

Er, it's that thingy on the DeLorean in Back to the Future that allows them to time travel, although i may have spelt it incorrectly

Had exactly the same Peter, its a Tracker identically set out too, ymine was still wired up but the battery retained no charge i would assume it was because it dated to around 95 needless to say it got binned.

So Simon, is it just a case of snippety snip and tape up any lives?

Btw, did you mention you had a pair of knock sensors?

[Simon says]

Yes & yes and they're yours now, well if you wan em.

[phazed]

That would be great Simon.

I'll pm you from a pc later, for some reason you can't from a Blackberry.

Thanks Chilli. May "Go back to the future" with a LS3 motor, and be 20yrs younger as well!. That Vaurien guy in Hungary should open up in the UK with his stainless chassis and galvanized outriggers. I expect galvanizing is used extensively on N Sea oilrigs.
