96 Rover 620ti Immobiliser Problem

I have a 96 Rover 620ti. I had one key and remote and I recently lost them. I have since bought a Key kit from a rover dealer which included an immobiliser, red key and 2 black keys for £280. When I connected the immobiliser box and put in the red key the car seemed to go into learning mode, I then programmed the 2 black keys. I can go to a Rover dealer 50 miles away to get this programmed properly but I have to arrange to get the car towed there and basically my money and patience are both diminishing as this goes on. Anyway at the minute the engine turns over but will not start. In fact it actually starts for about half a second then immediately dies. Do you know how I would get around the immobiliser without making the treck to the Rover dealer? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Yep, I believe it is a valeo system. If you can let me know I'd appreciate it.

i'll get onto my mate now shortly

Yeah it was so I don't think there is anything actually broken. It is booked into a Rover dealer in the morning and they are going to hook it up and program the new immobiliser and keys so hopefully my car will at last be on the road again. Will let you know how I get on.

cheers p.s  where abouts in ireland are you..   don't see many ti's over here

Derry. Your right about the ti's though. I needed an engine when I bought the car last year and searched everywhere from Fermanagh, Donegal, Tyrone and Derry and couldn't get my hands on one. Finally picked one up in England! Got the car sorted today so thanks for your help. The Rover dealer fixed it in minutes and had his hand out for 60 pounds, about 90 euros your side of the border. Glad I'm back on the road though.

good man..  main dealers kow how to charge..  I wish i could make €90 in 10 mins..
