Just brought my R Reg. 5.0 chim out of 2 years forced hibernation (going thru a stty divorce and don't want bh to get half of it) tried starting it but fuel pump not working, run direct feed to pump and works fine and car starts ok but once start driving alarm sounds and won't turn off.
Is the immobiliser goosed?
Checked all fuses and reset button still the same.
Anyone got an easy solve solution please

Two relays in foot well, the ones with red diagonal stripe across normally, remove both they are the same and replace with new and try!

Does sound like an alarm problem, but as to how you fix it no idea I'm afraid other than consult an alarm specialist.

Suspect the battery if it hasn't been given love and attention for 2 years.

How did you start it? Surely the battery didn't have enough oomph in it after all that time.
