Re: ollieRS ZVH turbo project
Thanks lads
I've run in to a brick wall though
went to turn it over so plugged the battery on, alarm went of, went to disarm with the fob an nothing!!! Tried to input the valet code still nothing so it's frustrating the hell out of me.
Any ideas?

rs220bhp :Is it running yet?
it ran for a while after by passing the alarm to get the ignition on and jumping it off the starter/alternator,it ran well but the alarm is turning into a nightmare to sort out

It won't disarm with the key fobs or when I try to enter the valet code! But it's a new alarm not even a year old

Re: ollieRS ZVH turbo project
Hmmm
I had a immobiliser that worked fine but would not turn off at all a year later when the car was done, had to replace it with a new one in end.
Never did find out why it went faulty, hopefully you sort yours mate

Re: ollieRS ZVH turbo project
I got my mate coming over Monday who is the local clifford dealer/installer so hopefully he can shine some light on it!
The prob is its been working on the car for about 3/4 months from new! So all though its been in the car for over a year it's only been usable for the 3/4 months an all that's changed is a relocation that's it.

Re: ollieRS ZVH turbo project
that is what you call an alarm that is thrown in over 2 nights in the rain lol. i new it was stuffed in but didn't no the extent of it!!
plan of action is this, if my mate can get it working to mo then happy days an i will rip all the wiring out an put it all back neat an tidy. if he cant i am still gonna be ripping it all out an putting it all back neat an tidy lol. worse comes to worse i will have to send the box to get re flashed at Clifford.
As jon knows i hate untidy wires
