get your self a cheap full tdi car, mot failure, scrapper etc and swap everything over.

the pump immobiliser can be easily bypassed at the pump end to save a lot of hassle removing the "snap-head" bolts that hold the immoblisier box/solenoid in place

I'm doing this on one of my Escort Vans. How do you bypass the immobiliser?

on my pump, theres a stop soleniod on th epump being controlled by a little back box, change ths stop solenoid for one off ebay (about Ł7).

this still retains the immobiliser on the keys and the starter
