Does the EML flash constantly and rapidly whilst you try and start it ?

Yes the Engine i bought was a 3.0 and mine was a 2.5 I am sure you are correct it has to do with the immobiliser.

you need the other "bits" to go with the engine, and change them to yours ... IIRC  its the immobilisor ring around the ignition key, the chip in the ignition key, and the ECU ...   someone who knows better will correct me I'm sure .. :)

If you're using your original key, then the 2.5 ECU should work :-\
