Well I never did get around to doing this job and the other day my Quantum 
decided to imobilise and set off the alarm and this time no key fob was going 
to stop it!
My insurance has a get you home so I got them to take me to a local car ICE 
shop and they removed the whole shooting match for £50 and now it starts and 
stops with no alarms and problems.
It turns out it was all wired and the control box located right up inside the 
dash and my old back would not have liked that.
Thanks for the help though Jim it was invaluable when doing my Porsche 944 
because that had an alarm imobiliser fault that was due to wires just twisted 
and taped..................I soldered them = no problem now.

Cheers
Jon

  Hi Jon,
  Basically, yes, it's just a case of following the wires (probably all black) 
from the alarm back to where they connect into the loom.
  If the wire taps into an existing uncut wire then it's probably a power feed 
or output for flashing the indicators etc.
  If the wire connects directly to an existing cut wire then it will probably 
be part of the immobilisation circuit, and there should be another alarm wire 
connected to the other end.

  If it's been installed properly the wire that's been cut for the immobiliser 
should have a section missing so the cut ends of the wire won't be next to each 
other.
  But in practice this is rarely done.
  Usually you will also find most of the connections are done under the 
steering column shroud, again, just where they shouldn't be done.

  I expect the immobiliser circuits will be the starter and the power to the 
ignition coil.

  Let me know the colours of any wires you find tapped into the alarm and i 
should be able to tell you what the circuit is.

  Jim

    Hi folks I am sorry as my wife and I were booked in too and to have missed 
all this as first the 2+2 decided to eat another pink petrol injection relay 
and stop dead! then to add to the misery once I got a new relay and running 
again my key fob that is a Clifford alarm and imobiliser broke the solder that 
holds the battery in. This happened in a busy garage while getting fuel, so in 
to the rescue came my trusty old Mondeo to tow it home and sort it out as the 
alarm howled away.
    I hate imobilisers and would ask. Does anyone know if I will have any 
trouble disconnecting it from the loom? Is it just a case of trace each wire 
and remove it and reconnect original using solder not hateful scotchlocks?
    Your help will be most useful as electrics are not my strong point.
    Cheers
    Jon

      Seconded (albeit a bit late - sorry!)

      Not the best time to discover your bonnet hasn't latched properly - 
Braking from 80mph to turn into the pits...! Oops!

      Does anyone know if Haynes have got their track back up and running yet?

      Dave.

another great day at Curborough. 

        Kermit behaved well and put up with abuse from myself, Michael and Guy. 
Personally I really enjoyed exploring a new piece of grass due to a spin just 
before the 'B'.  Running without a windscreen was 'interesting'... Good on the 
track, but tiring for the journeys. 

        And its good to see that Vince laid on glorious weather again!
