   Hi guys this my first post on here so please be easy on me lol.
   I brought a x reg Saxo Vtr as a bit of spares and repair.
   Guy said was fine when he last left it two years ago but it's now old fuel and won't start.
   First thing we did was empty fuel and fill her up but still no luck.
   We have no fob key so think this may be the prob.
   Is there a way to by pass the immobiliser?
   Any help be great
   
   Thanks rob

   probably a optional feature from factory to have a fob,
   have you checked all your fuses from the passenger side foot well, and engine bay, also have you tried pushing the red button under the engine bay, fuel cut off switch

    Just watched the videos, looks to me that the hazards flashing is the, after market alarm, must be currently set to mute or just not connected to a horn, if you can get a make/model of the alarm you might be able to find a install guide and just follow the guide backwards

    Right def don't think it the alarm/imobiliser now.
    We got fuel just no spark.
    We changed crank sensor also yest.
    So now we're thinking it could be the 16 pin telematic replay under ecu what you guys think and where you think we could purchase one?

    update
    
    We have seen the imobiliser is missing the plugs there but the unit is missing.
    Do we think it needs ecu checked/unlocking?
    If so how much and where?
