Well, The Immobiliser Works.

[trumpet]

Hi all,

 

I purchased a T-plate Multispace last weekend, and have been spending a joyful time fixing its multiple problems (so far: exhaust, timing belt, service, brakes and anti-roll bar; remaining: power steering pump, suspension, mysterious throttle lag.)

 

This morning my other half phoned me from her folks, where Blingo had decided to stop altogther, hurrah! On turning the key, there is a solenoid noise which sounds like something going a bit wrong - I traced this to a small black box bolted to the passenger side wing, next to the battery, which I assume is the immobiliser.

 

I've tried unplugging it, blipping the locking, bump-starting the thing...nowt. Can anyone shed any light? Please...?
