    Hi there
    Ive writen of my saxo VTS so in the middle of removing parts to sell.
    If i was going to sell the engine/gearbox for a conversion, does the wiring loom for the engine/ecu all connect into the large round connector down by the battery.
    Is there anything else i need to remove ie the other connecting part of the wiring loom that goes into the fusebox/interior??

    2000 m/y single plug ecu...

    start it up, unplug a fag packet size box under the glove box, do not plug it back in, turn off, turn on again

    no, mine was a bastard lol, there are guides on here with pictures, if you search 'remove immobiliser'. wasnt as easy to find, as im not small lol, had to lay on back in passenger footwell, reach up behind dash using a torch to see and it was top right near the contre console wedged behind a fusebox lol. unplug it while its runnng and leave it unplugged, do not re-fit it, then turn car off and on again, the ecu is now unlocked. my immobiliser now sits in my tool chest drawer lol

    it just slides off a hanger up behind the bonnet catch, make sure the engine still starts once youv unplugged it

    is your keypad immob?
