Immobiliser issue - advice needed please
Discussion
Good morning
My TVR Chimaera 4.5lt (year 2000) has an immobiliser issue.
The car battery is fully charged but the immobiliser seems to be stuck on and I cannot start the engine. Normally the red light stays on for 15 seconds or so while the immobiliser is live, but it now just flashes on for a second and nothing happens.
Is there a way to override the immobiliser. Has anyone else experienced this fault? Any advice welcomed. I am in France so there is no dealer nearby to help. The car was due in to the garage tomorrow for a service, but looks like I won't get there now.Than you in advance, fingers crossed.

I too thought it was an immobiliser issue, but it was the battery.
Put a voltmeter across the battery and report back your result. Nice table below gives a good indication of battery condition.
