Hi guys i really do need your help i bought a car for my wife to use for work we didnt have alot of money so i bought her a rover 414 turbo deasel it was £150 it has 4months mot and a months tax it worked fine drove lovely but it had no stop lights or reversing lights the fuse kept blowing but the car started first time everytime without fail, i started looking for the fault so i went through all the wiring chasing it all back from the back lights through to the fuse box looking for spits in the wires looking for a short but nothing i put it all back together and started it again fine but went out this morning and the alarm light stayes on even thought the car is unlocked and unarmed and when i turn it over the lights on the dash light up but no coil light now and it wont turn over just as if the imobalizer is still on. anybody got any ideas. please guys i need help.

Well if the alarm light stays on then it is immobilised, did you get the KAC (Key Access Code) with the car? this is written on a security card with the radio code, etc

If you get the code then you enter it with the key in the drivers door lock - same as entering a safe code

had issues with immob on rover 214 years ago the standered alarms/immob are **** best to disconnect them

no i didnt get a code i dont think there is anywhere you could enter the code.It does seem to be the imobilizer but how do i by pass it.thanks for your help guys.

First thing I would do is disconnect the battery for half hour or so and try again.

A long shot with mixed results in the past.

Thanks guys turns out rovers are prone to this problem and with a bit of surching i found the problem. because the key fobs were missing the last owner set the default on the immobilizer with the eka code but he had died and never wrote down the code so we didnt have it i surched loads of companys to get the code but they wanted 25 pound and upwards but i would have to wait till after christmas then a bloke local said he would come and fix it but it would cost me 40 for just the code or 90 and i would get 2new key fobs, then simb2 called me and said he had found a mg rover site that would give me the code in an hour if i paid 15 and gave them the vin no so i did 20min s later all sorted you put the four digit code into the door lock using the key 5 to the right 6 to the left and so on and im happy to say it worked first time and the misses is on the road again. thanks for your help guys.

Glad it's sorted - the KAC was always discarded by owners as they never knew what it was for

i know but why dont they put those sort of codes on the log book you never chuck that away do you its all money making in it.
