Immobiliser failure/bypass
Discussion
So once again I’ve had another one of those weekends.
Daily driver failed it’s MOT on Friday (Mg Zt) so decided to break it for parts as it’s not worth saving (200k miles and at least £600 to spend) I have another one with only 72k miles on it so will keep the parts for that.
Decided to get the Tuscan off my drive so I have room to break the MG and take the Tuscan to my parents who don’t live far away.
Problem is the blooming thing wouldn’t start. It’s been sat for about a month as I’ve recently had an operation. The electrics work but the starter wouldn’t spin and the fuel pump isn’t working either.
Assumed it might be the Meta immobiliser so in my impatience I just started cutting wires (probably not the best idea-but i have no patience for the car now having had one issue after another and having thrown a decent wedge at it.
Subsequently I’m managed to get the starter to work but still no fuel pump.
I was therefore wondering if anybody has a schematic as to how to bypass the immobiliser and which wire I should be connecting to which?
I have to say I’m passable with the mechanical side (did the steering rack and full suspension myself last year) but I’m useless with electrics.
Thanks in advance

Gave up in the end, will probably get it towed to TvR as they are great guys. Got the pump working by hard wiring it to a spare battery but still wouldn’t start so can’t be a spark.
Once again reminds me why I sold my Chim all those years ago.
Ended up doing a lot of pushing to get cars moved around on my drive. I’m sure the neighbours will be happy now as it looks like a scrap yard but screw them as nobody came out to help!
