Just a quick update...I found the brain of the immobiliser hidden away behind the dash, unplugged it and the car started! The idle valve has stopped making noise now I got the car started too. There is however another problem, it won't idle at all even when warmed up. You can start it then keep it running with a bit of gas but as soon as you release the accelerator pedal it immediately dies. Could this be some sort of added security kicking in as the immo knows it has been disconnected or would it be unrelated?

Might be the idle valve not opening. Try taking it off (you need a 5mm allen key, undo the three bolts holding the plastic mani cover, then unplug the ISV and remove the retaining bolt) and giving it a good clean.

Easy to look stupid Len!

So I rang up the company you mention, said Shalom and they told me they have nothing to do with 90's aftermarket VW alarms!

What a shocker!
