Re: Another Alarm/immobiliser problem Rover 216
Sorry Teddy Bear, the ECU is under the carpet in the passenger carpet covered over by a steel plate and a glass window through which you can see a red led blinking when ignition is switched on. I am not even sure if it is K series or R8 but yes the log book says 1.6l 16v single cam, it is an Sli Cou...

Very sadly, I had managed to demobilise my car and all was well, until I got its driver's door lock mechanism sorted out as it had stuck in open position, then I was meant to remove the battery from my keyfob in case I pressed one of the buttons and it might spring back into immobilised mode...
