I think your immobiliser is an ‘aftermarket market one’.
I have a look in my Hayes book of lies, for the GEN 1.

Ask the question on the US Facebook pages, May be your best bet :idea:

Do you have a fob with the Gen1 that you can show us a picture?
have you looked for any box under the dash or bonnet that might give you a clue?

It's not a fob as we know it,
There is a connection point near the handbrake with a flashing light (or not as it now)
A little fob type which you have to put on the point near the handbrake and wait for the light to go out, then put the key in the ignition and start the car.
Here are the pic's

And now the pic of the control unit

The strange thing is the immobiliser isn't flashing, the only things working a few the head lights nothing else is apparently working
So is the a immobiliser control unit fault or have I got a bigger issue

I don't have Fraser's contact number, sent him a pm but no reply

Any details on the black box Malcolm?
Does the "fob" look like it needs a battery

I had a similar thing on another car, so would guess at it being aftermarket…..
But what and how they are wired is anyones guess….
