HI
i have this fault at our local pet shop
the remote doesn't work at all
so enter with key and then spend 10 minutes waiting for
the immo to disarm
something to do with the stores movement sensors
interferring with the alarm/immo frequency
i now park well away from the building
cheers
steve

Bad new, I have just checked my manuals and the imobilisers are different.
EWS-3D on the freelander and Lucas 5AS on the Lotus.
I dont think my bypass method will work. but ill send it anyway if you want.

sorted damaged cabling at the imobiliser ecu was the cause of fault.
so heres my day i explored my motor and found damaged wiring in leads running from the mobilier ecu
they would appear to hve rub up on an edge of the body work barring 2 right back to the cooper and shorted out on said body work.
thinking back i remember the wife said one day it apeared dead so has been developing over time makes sence as the cables wear throw.
when pulled of of body car started no problem let them loose and they pushed back onto body car no start.
so i cut soldered and shrink rapt them and cable tyed out of danger
all appears to be ok after much immobilising and unimobilising so laind it this afternoon to give it a bit rattle about all good.
much happiness that this was nothing major can now say if been round the hole car with a fine toothcome now amazing how much mud is hidden in some of the corners on it. realy needs a dam good clean make that this weekends job before go out in it again
thank fully this was an easy fix when i found the fault.
hope this might prove helpfull to someone else at some point.
thanks to carbore for taking the time to look up stuff and offer email help.
