We have recently purchased a rover 214 N reg from a private seler, today the immobiliser would not go off therefore the engine could not be started.
We have NO idea how to fix this. Can anyone help!? We thought it was maybe the battery in the fob?!! We need the car in working order bu thursday at the lasest!! please help!!!
For the short term, there is a way to do this using the ignition key in the drivers door lock. You need to know the code for the car and have the handbook to tell you how to.
As to long term. If you have a one-button plip (fob) the handbook has a sequence for resync'ing it with the car which you could try.
If it is a two-button plip then then I'm afraid that it is rip to a dealer because it needs to be resync'ed using a diagnostic computer.
