The round thing on the blank switch next to the AC...
I'm guessing its to do with the immobiliser or alarm related??

Yes is the same immobilizer as mine. I have to touch it with a small 'pen' for the car to fire up. Cobra I think?

Cheers guys!

Yeah its a Cobra system.
So thats how I'd start the car if the zapper is broken? I often wondered/worried what i'd do if I damaged the remote locking zapper...

Same as mine. Cobra.
You should have a little black thing with a chrome end shaped to fit that indent.
