Immobiliser problem
Discussion
Hi
I have an MGTF which dies on me on the way home recently. I thought the problem was a flat battery caused by a faulty alternator. After fitting a new alternator and charging the battery the car started and ran well for a day. I checked the voltage across the battery when the engine was running and got a healthy 14.5 volts.
Today the car will unlock using the key fob, or inserting key in door, but the immobiliser will not turn off. I have tried using the EKA but no luck and I have disconnected the battery and left it for a couple of hours but still no luck.
Any suggestions please?

We had this problem with a car we had many years ago, turned out it was the boot lock which was faulty and causing the alarm to go off.I have an MGTF which dies on me on the way home recently.
