the immobiliser from the obc connects above the glove box,should be a white two pin plug with green wires if i remember correctly. (cue brian moore) unplug it and bridge the connection from the car loom (not the obc) and it should start.cars not fitted with obc`s just had a loop of wire in the connector.

I agree with Matt. When I removed the OBC from my saloon I just shorted the 2 pin connection with a piece of wire and the card started fine.

Hope it works :roll:
