immobiliser key
« on: 13 February 2010, 09:36 »
When I bought it had a Clifford immobiliser fitted but only came with one key,on which the loop is broken so can't be attached to a keyring. Needless to say I am a bit nervous about losing this! Is it possible to obtain spare keys for it, and where do I get them?

The key is shaped a bit like a rugby ball with a loop on side, about inch and a half long. You have to hold it in a certain place to turn off immobiliser( sorry if this is obvious but I have never used an immobiliser before so not sure if they are all the same).

It was a silly question to ask on my behalf anyway to be honest.

Give clifford a bell and give em your model number mate, might be able to send you a replacement key and you can use the broken one as a spare  :smiley:

general rule of thum holds true then, if you have an aftermarket immob remove it as it will be more inconvinience to you than the pikeys,  lost count of the immobs i've removed and TBH it's not like there hard to get past, the factory immobs in the ecu are the only ones that actualy work
