Did you fit the ECU from the donor car? They are matched, you won't get it to work otherwise.b6syd wrote:i have just changed my engine in my diesel 406 but the keypad wont except my code please help

As long as you still have the old ECU it should be possible to get the new one re-programmed to speak to the immobiliser. Chances are it's just a stored serial number, probably the chassis or engine's.
