didn't have time to look at the car today...just curious to know how to get the car running if you accidentally lost the codes for the immobilizer...or some thing wrong with the key perhaps... can the dealers reset the codes..maybe reprogramme the ecu...and the other thing is can a dead battery or cause the immobilizer to stop recognizing the key or codes...maybe thats what happened with my car.... :?

hey guys...had some time with the car....it was indeed the immobilizer problem :) took me about 1/2 hour to remove the plates...no hacksawing or grinding 3 allen blots and 2 torx thats it..don't know if some body previously removed the thing....I ran a line from the immobilizer power feed to the stop solenoid now it's working fine...

btw didn't remove the pump from the car...I haven't actually removed the back of the pump itself just the injector line itself so no harm done...:) in my one i manged to remove the immobilizer without much trouble while the pump was fitted to the car...

cheers for the great help guys :) thanks a lot ...:)
