Someone on another car forum is badly stuck with this problem. Will post a link to it below, but not sure if it can be read unless your a member and signed into the site.
Im not signing out to try it, because I cant remember my sign in details and might not be able to get back in. 

https://autoshite.com/topic/58472-wanted-vauxhall-frontera-immobiliser-needs-mechanical-work/#comment-3002147

Basically has two keys that need programming in with Tech 2. Has the car pass.
Someone came to do the job while he was out and left a message that whoever had worked on the car before has knackered the immobiliser so new keys cant be programmed in.
Reasonably possible or another case of " a little knowledge is a dangerous thing ? "

Oops, wrong thread.

When mine got damaged on the Big Black Pussy, 2nd hand were £800 and new were around £2k

So repaired with Chinky Takeaway containers and Sikaflex until I can acquire one at a sensible price....    ....and that was 3 or 4 years ago, and still unable to obtain one for a sensible price!

Been quoted almost from dealers almost £450. they changed them from 2018 . I can find lots of pre 19,s .

I don't suppose you could fit a pair of 2018 ones?

For a Shitreon, that sounds almost reasonable.

Isn't it a ZF box on the straight 6 diseasal

The non 24v TD had an AR25.

Did they BMWfy it then

Mind you, no wonder they go bang if you turn the boost up...

I got through 3 in 2 months IIRC, before finally managing to get an AR35 which cured it.  Not sure what the 5 speed one was fitted to the 24v common rail TDs that euroland got, when we had to make do with the 2.2dti
