The taped up transponder is suspicious and would be where my investigation would start....

Did you un-tape the transponder from the ignition

[nij]

I know what you mean, shame they cant be just "simply" ripped out and threw over next doors garden!

thanks for all your advice tho mate  

[nij]

I didnt touch it I just put it back where I found it so I didnt disturb it incase it wasnt that

[nixoro]

Are there signs of your current key having been opened at any time, wondering whether theres a chip inside or if if the one inside the taped on module has fallen out.

[Kevin Wood]

If there's a chip in both keys, so two keys in range of the immobiliser, it might be luck of the draw which one it picks up when the ignition is turned on. Could be that something has changed and it's now picking up the "wrong" one.

I'd be inclined to remove the chip from the working key and see if the "taped up" one starts it.

it all looks intact to me with no scrapes or signs its been opened, would you recommend untaping the other 1 and having a mess around?

My dads car immobiliser will only disable if the remote is pointed to the roof pimple have you tried this before turning the key in the ignition, only just thought of this have you tried this already.

That was my understanding of the IR types. I'm wondering if someone has changed the ECUs on this one with a later type....

If I removed the 1 from the key and it wasnt that would it go back in with no problems or would it need to be reset?

[nij]

depends what you mean by remote, I only have 2 keys for the car, 1 with a chip and 1 without

By chip, do you mean the remote locking bit, or the transponder chip?

[nij]

transponder

[TheBoy]

Is there a transponder chip in the key taped up to immobiliser?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Right....

1) Is there a transponder in the key taped up by the immobiliser?

2) Is there a transponder in the key.

3) Try each one in turn fitted in the key, which one starts the car?

Its not good if two transponders are in close proximity!
