Any ideas what i can do? Ive seen the thread about resetting it but that needs it to be deactivated via the key fob or code of which i have neither. Does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do?

So how have you got the car?.

I bought it without an engine had it trailored to my address and ive fitted an engine into it gone to start it and i get ignition lights along with a key symbol with a flashing light but that goes out when the ignition key is turned dashboard also says check engine. When i try to start it i get nothing no fuel pump or clicking from starter motor. I have been told it sounds like the imobiliser but if the symbol goes out does that mean its switched off? Im really stuck

Key symbol relates to ECU reading chip in key so that it will start

Alarm/Immobiliser is a seperate issue that has its own immobilisation circuits which includes fuel pump and ignition circuits.

No fobs or code for keypad - need assistance from Subaru or a Toad/Sigma Installer to get a new PIN number and fobs.(maybe the bay)

Oh ok well thats not too bad then. What about if i strip it out? Im going to ring subaru tomorrow and ask if they may have the code but the car is 15 years old so im doubtful.
