hi all im not a citroen person reali but a friend asked a favour to help im put a vts motor in his vtr...

all was goin well till i found out bout this transponder immoberliser thingy we have everything wired up as far as am aware???

its turnin over but the key/box (orange) light on dash keeps flashing i understand tht its not gettin the right code or sumthing close to this.

there is onli 1 key for the car it hasnt got a keypad jus the key??? no fob or anything??

its mk1 vtr tht it has gone in we have jus swapped the engine harness by the big plug.

is there any certain wires u can bypass the imoberliser i here it is located in glovebox area?? not sure goin by what i have seen on forums

the vts engine was doner from nother car which has now bein crshed so no chance gettin keys from it??

would replacing tht areil round the ignition barrel help?? or a new key n get programmed..


all help will be very much appreciated

i have bein up all night searchin the net an ive come up trumps as far as another saxo forum explains i will hav needed to unlock ecu before removing it from the doner car??? is this correct anybody know

and ive came to another conclussion either way citroen dealers wonts say boo till they get ur hard earned cash to say argh well it could but wont know till we try a cant jus hope for £120!!!

there is surely away to by-pass the transponder?? tht would solve everything but the only thing tht i have found on the net requires the chip out the key??

bump just tryin to find info asap?? surely someone out there has bypassed the immobiliser? im using this as a last resort???

wht do people do when there using striped out grass tracker or rally car surely due to how prone it is to breakin someone will have found a way to eliminate it somehow???
