The battery is fine, the immobilier fob flashes as normally should and appears to disengage as normal, but when I turn the key it wont start.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?? It's a Gemini immobiliser….
From time to time, it seems to set off as well as the lights on the car all flash but no alarm goes off. Guessing the sounder was disconnected by previous owner?

Are you certain it's the alarm/immobiliser or could it be something else?

edit: the above is for testign to see where the problem is, then if its determined the immob is the issue you can then think about binnign it or at least looking into why. it might just be a bad splice to the ignition wires, some of the immob installs have been truly shocking (lol)

He said it needs replacing, but he wasn't sure if I needed a new barrel or if the switcvh was seperate? Is anyone able to advise??
He said the wiring for the immobilser was all over the place and it would take him hours to remove, which would involve removing the dash. I think if the immobilser gets disconnected and disabled and I've got to replace the ignition switch/barrel, along with other small thiongs I've been planning on doing in that area………I might as well bite the bullet and remove the dash. Has anyone done this? Any tips/pointers? How long do you think it could take?

for ignition switch yeah its seperate from barrel but if its a later cab it will have the spline adaptor on which makes it a right pain, you can just about manage with a bent watchmaker screwdriver to do the job in situ. if it makes your life easier you can remove the whoel column with ignition lock on if you undo and remove the UJ bolt at the bottom and ignition lock bolt at the top.

I was going to replace the wheel and steering wheel boss, plus the plastic around the ignition barrel needs replacing as its damaged, Plus one of the LED's in the speedo needs replacing as can't see how fast I'm going at night as one light is out.
So it's probably easier to strip it out, remove the immobiliser and all the cabling so it's tidy. Replace the igntion barrel (if necessary), replace the plastic surround and the steering wheel boss and wheel, replace the light bulb on the speedo and also replace the cig lighter and ashtray unit.
Though you're saying the knee bench might be the tough part to get out?

you may be able to get to all the immobiliser bits just thru the hole when the switch surround is removed, usually its only going to be tapped into the ignition wiring

I removed my imboliser as didn't want the worry of a 25 year old device failing leaving me stranded.
