Is it an alarm and immobiliser?  I'd guess at it being that

[matthg40]

Yea it's not a great one either it's a laserline

Check the switch on the back of the ignition barrel. I had one go just like this some years ago. Replaced the switch and all was good.

Ah good thinking and where's best to get a switch mate

I used to have a similar problem, sometimes when indicating the ignition would go off and the engine wouldn't start. I reckon it was the laserline immobiliser.

What's the best way to test if it's the alarm or ignition switch at fault

[hayesey]

hmm well you'll probably find that the immobiliser part is wired into a couple of the leads going into the ignition switch and it laughably easy to by pass so I'd try that and see if the issues go away.

Sorry to bombard people with questions but what's the quickest way to bypass my immobiliser

[Richg40]

You need to find out where it is first.

[matthg40]

[matthg40]

Rite I've found the alarm cables how do I bypass some one plz help I'm desperate I need my 40 back lol

[Richg40]

Dont bypass, find where it's wired into the loom, cut it out and repair the wiring.
