The Probe I've acquired has a key for the doors and another key for the ignition barrel (had a replacement at some point). The boot lock appears to be ceased. Small I know but its driving me mad!!!! Anyone know if I'm likely to run into issues or difficulties with the process or the immobiliser? I've also noticed I have no keyfob with the car like the handbook suggests......

sounds to me that if you haven`t got a keyfob, the immobiliser has been bypassed,
as for the boot lock, use the boot release to access the boot, could save you from breaker a key in the lock, (push remove or give the boot lock a good dose of wd40

Check the mobby bypass (bosch) unit under the centre consul clock
as wires maybe loose,as for the boot lock as Mal said, but have a look at
your key does it look like it takes a battery as you may have a early/late
car any numbers on the dissy

Thanks both. There's a key fob available to order from the states which I think I'll order....apparently programing them is straightforward. Once I get it in the garage in the next 2-3 months for strip down I'll look into the immobiliser bypass.....that's come up a few times on here.

The key fob from the states may be for the remote locking which is not fitted to UK cars. They didn’t have the Bosch immobiliser.

Its since been confined that mine being an earlier model didn't come with a fob so I'd be wasting money getting one. Though the miss match door locks and ignition barrel are driving me potty. Got to get a matching set

Early cars have a fob, later cars have the temic system with a chip in the key.

God knows then. I've no fob when I bought it. Its been owned and worked on by some past club members so its looking like the immobiliser has been bypassed

What year is the car?
