Ford Escort Immobiliser

[kendra20]

does anyone know how much it will cost to have the immobiliser removed or bypassed, or a new one fitted on a H reg ford escort cabriole. I love my old car to bits but the immobiliser has stuck and I cant start my car, and I need it badly

I don't know how much it'd cost, but I wouldn't recommend removing it or bypassing it, as this will surely invalidate your insurance if it was stolen.

I,m aware of the insurance issue I just need to by pass it so that I can move it from the Chinese restaurant car park where it been for 3 weeks and get it to a garage.

[kendra20]

I have been in touch with motor electrician and he wanted £200 to move it. but thank you both for your answers.

If it were me then I would tow it either by myself or by the AA RAC or whatever organisation you belong to, "if any".

[tonyav]

Couldn't say how much it would cost, try phoning around some auto electricians and get a few quotes.

[tonyav]

Ah right, I see that you have already spoken to an auto electrician.

Thank you sooo much this has helped a lot, The car has been completely rebuilt by someone else before I had it, and don't know what he had done to it Iv'e had the car 4 yrs and shes been fine except for this. if it was a wreck i wouldnt bother but shes in such good nick it would be a shame to scrap her as the garage suggested. we live in the middle of nowhere and to get anything done is a nightmare. thanks again xxxxx

Why dont you consider a cheap diy job. Disconnect one of the wires on the coil, Connect a length of suitable size wire to this Route the wire to a secret location. add a switch, then route another length of wire off the switch back to the terminal.
