Hello.
I have just come back from a two week journey, before which i disconnected the battery on my 1999 rover 420.
I thought upon my return it would be a clear case of connecting it up again and away we go. The batteries in the blippers were dead when i bought the car so i have just been using the key. i have tried the handbooks reset thingy of three turnd of the drivers door lock this way six turns that way but no joy.
Can i not over ride the immobiliser? yes i know this is in situ to stop car thieves but there must be a way. I have disconnected the alarm switch which stops the horn going off but engine wont turn over due to immobiliser.
Help!

Been out trying the manual over ride key in door code. No joy. Bought a new battery for handset. No joy. No flashing lights when i blip the keyfob.
when i disconnected the battery did the immobiliser possibly reset the manual over ride?
Also now when i open the door the alarm does not go off even with the fuse for it in.
Totally lost.

The 2ltr T-series uses 3as immobiliser system which CAN be bypassed to the point of how you had it previously where you didnt need to use the fob. What has happened is that removing the battery/power from the immobilizer has reset it and made it default back to its original state as an immobilizer.
Try: new battery in fob, connect up the battery in the car. Then get into the car and turn the key to ignition(car should get upto this point but not turn over if you try turning it to crank). Press the lock button 6 times, then unlock 6 times then lock once. If that works, the car should lock and unlock using the central locking. If it doesnt work, try it again but just keep pressing lock/unlock buttons a few times. If you still are stuck and cannot sort it, goto:

register and ask in the correct section and you might have somebody local who doesn't mind having a look for you(I would but I live in southport and nobody else on PH does it seems!)
