Default Vecta Immobiliser playing up....

Has anyone got a contact number or no of anyway to bypass the Vecta black box.

Sometimes it works & sometimes & doesn't & its getting to be a pain in the arse when im driving. The car cuts out & then suddenly starts again I no its the Vecta as the light goes red soon as the car cuts out & goes green when fires up again. Ive had the dashboard out & when you tap the black box, it cuts the car out & ive checked for breaks in the wires & theres none

HELP REQUIRED PLEASE

Surely its easy enough to trace the wires and completely remove it?

it'll either be a silouette or a managusta - my bets are a managusta as they tended to fail more than the silouettes. it should not be a hard job to trace the wires from the black epoxy cylinder which is the brain of the vecta and reconnet the wires - by passing the imobilser until u can get it to a VSIB guy who can fit u a new one
