Chimaera flat battery aftermath!

[Brabster]

Yep, sad to say, we had a power cut and my old accumate didn't and won't reset! Result - flat battery!
Managed to get into the car OK and slowly recharged the battery. Now having to use the immobiliser override 'key' and the remote locking won't work!! Otherwise car running OK.
Battery has been disconnected-reconnected but to no avail! Any help gratefully received!

assuming its the standard meta alarm, disconnect the battery for 5 seconds , then as soon as you reconnect press the plipper. With any luck this should reset the alarm and all will be good again.

Does the little red light on the plipper come on when you press the button - could just be a coincidence that the plipper battery is flat.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a shot!!
It is the original set up, but there's no red light on the 'plipper' and I've changed the batteries in it!

I may be getting confused with my other cars , I thought the tvr remote had a red light on but now not sure!.

I know that my plipper stopped orking last week, turned out the cardboard I had put inside the push the circuit board up had slipped so the switch wasnt making contact.

Easy way to test your remote. If its the same as mine, open it up and the circuit board, switch and battery are all one small unit that just drops out. Try using it without the casing attached, it may be that the switch in the black casing isnt making proper contact with the switch on the PCB.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the door control module. Not sure/can't remember where it is on a Chim, but sits atop the fuel tank in a Cerbera.

Thank you for your replies, much appreciated!
Car is at my local garage, so will check it out soon!

All OK now, new battery fitted and everything working as it should! Appears the old battery, although managing to start the engine, had a faulty cell! Very strange!!
Thank you all for your suggestions, maybe it was a combination of the new battery and wizadry!!
