Re: HELP immobiliser is not allowing me to start omega Reply #1 - 22. Jul 2011 at 17:34 Do you have the usual dash ignition lights coming up & if so is engine turning over but not starting? Or is everything dead as in no electrics & nothing at all works ?

Jul 2011 at 18:28 Assuming you have a standard Vx. keyfob and alarm system then you can re-sync the fob to the car by turning on the ignition and pressing and holding the lock and unlock buttons together. This will only re-set the alarm and central locking, the immobilizer is a separate system to the alarm.
