Sadly the car will not start at all, whether the alarm is sounding or not. Leads me to the conclusion that the immobiliser is likely to be the problem. I've had a chat with an auto-electrician via a mate, and he's going to come and have a look tomorrow. Also looking into a replacement M30 as per your recommendation.

Cheers Mr. B. I did try disconnecting/reconnecting the vehicle battery but without success. This morning, though, it got worse. Got in it to go to work, typed the PIN in the keypad and the alarm went off and would not reset with the PIN code. Ended up disconnecting the vehicle battery and being very late for work! The car is now dead until I can find someone to come and look at it and, hopefully, remedy it. Sadly, I think I might need a new alarm system.

Hi all, I took my Impreza WRX (05 plate) for its MOT yesterday but, during the test, the key fob completely stopped working and I had to rely on the Sigma passcode to get the car started. Originally, I thought it was just the battery so replaced this with a new one.....still nothing. I had a read of the forums and took the key to a local auto locksmith to check the signal from the fob. Apparently this was fine but the immobiliser still doesn't recognise the fob. Tried to re-register the key using the passcode but this hasn't worked either. I also tried to re-register an old spare fob but this didn't work either. In desperation I contacted a local auto locksmith in North Somerset who supposedly 'specialised in Subaru' but he was a lost cause! So, I have 2 keys, neither of which are recognised by the immobiliser/alarm and I am currently reliant on entering the keycode every time to start the car. Any advice, guidance or support to help rectify this is greatly appreciated!! Cheers, Gareth aka Coffinhammer
