The ECU, immobilser ecu (around the ignition barrel) and chip in the key are all coded together so you need all three of these items from the original tractor

So the key has a chip in it then, even though it has no blip buttons on it... (hmmm... can't find a confused smiley)

Simple to answer that.....does the original car have the immobiliser ecu around the ignition (the diesel).

And yes, earlier units had a key nad a seperate rf remote (and even earlier ones an IR one!)

Yep, has the immobiliser ecu, and a control unit, so I guess then that the chip that talks to it is in one of the remote blips, it was a 1996MY, I just wonder if the wiring to the immobiliser ECU has changed between 1996 and 1999.

Sadly I'm at work and can't do any testing

Its not changed....the chip will be in the key, is it a key like this?

It is indeed, I guess now it's time to do some further work, will the chip in that key fit in the newer style key? therefore retaining the central door locking on the key

Thanks for all help so far btw

Yep, open the key (as per above) remove the chip and pop it in your newer key.

Dont change the central locking ecu.

Dont change the central locking ecu.

Sorry to butt in but this central locking/immobilizer e.c.u... This is the box that fits around the ignition barrel, right?
So what is the box located down in the passenger footwell area? Is that just for the central locking or is that not the e.c.u. that goes with the chip in the key and the ignition barrel box?

Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I know which bits to salvage from my old car...

Immobiliser ecu is around inition lock

controller in the kickpanel is for central locking/alarm

Totaly seperate systems

Thanks to everyone for the help.....

It now runs 

The only problem I had then was actually stopping it running.... Perhaps still some wiring to look at, but thats a huge step to getting this project finished

Good work fella, sure there will be some bits to sort, but at least with it running you can find em!
