Default Nightmare!

Agggh! I lost the immobiliser fob today. I'd unlocked it on the button and had the car running putting things back in the car after a morning out and got rushed by the people next to me wanting to get in their car. Luckily drove the 40 minute drive home and put it in the garage before realising I couldn't find the fob. Then drove the 40 minutes back to the event in the wife's car to try to find it but no joy.
Anyway it's a Serpi Star with a single button.
Am I better off trying to take the immobiliser off the car or try to find a replacement fob and reprogramme?

Bloody hell, serpi star, that's a blast from the past... remember those from my very early days fitting alarms... like 25/27yrs ago it's got to be almost as old as the car that mate, so chances of finding a replacement are going to be pretty slim to non-existent.

Think you're going to have to remove it... PM me if you need any help working out what's what.

I would have had to look at the distructions back then, so he's got no chance of me remembering how to do something like that now that i'm old and senile.

Think Google is going to have to be his friend on this one.

Have you been through the stuff you were loading into the car properly for the fob ?
