Immobiliser Failed???

[snorky]

came to the car today. car opens ok on fob. Alarm switches off , alarm operates if I switch it on and wave thru window to set it off.
Ign lights all ok, but no fuel pump prime and no start.
NO LIGHT on the immobilizer over-ride socket LED on the steering wheel cowl - at any time...

HELP !!!

[snorky]

have managed to get the dashtop off and can get to anything...
perhaps need some PM'd instruction to bypass the immob to check it is that before I start spending money..

[snorky]

seem to have the older two layers of pins M36T immobilizer...

bump

Does the starter spin? i.e is it just the fuel that's the problem as the immobiliser has two circuits fuel & starter one may still be working?

Pm'ed

[snorky]

no neither fuel nor starter....

[snorky]

now sorted...after replies of instructions (thanks all) and a quick chat to Carl Baker (what a nice bloke)
it is now running...

HELP!. What was it?

[snorky]

immobiliser failed from old age and needs replacing....am going to replace the whole lot to future-proof the car...but at least it runs now.

Snorky will you let me know what route you go down as I would like to future proof mine also.

Carl Baker is replacing everything with an up to date system. He works out of Dan Taylor TVR. Carl lives in France now but comes over for periods where he just does alarm work pretty much non-stop for a period then goes back home.
Try emailing him via http://www.tvruk.tv/

Yes that seems the way forward. Carl is doing mine as we speak.
I have a feeling he is fully booked for this trip so you need to get on the waiting list for his next trip!

All back now from Carl Baker working on the Chim. Alarm ,sensors, immobiliser all replaced with new, modern versions, new fobs with key integrated into it. Added Boot release from fob, hot start mod. Dan Taylor changed the battery and starter and it now spins like a spitfire's prop rather than struggling round.
Very reasonable price and money well spent IMO a lot of people forget these alarm systems are up to 15 years and more old now and don't last forever. After seeing this install done first hand I'm so glad I didn't just buy cheap replacements of what was already there (15 year old tech) and went down the full upgrade route recommended by Carl.
Cannot recommend Carl and Dan enough. All this done in one day...
