hello i have a 1999 110 td5 with the gearbox light flashing when trying to stars so won’t engage starter I think this is a safety thing.
Yesterday I put it into low range no problem just a litttle stiff to engage today back into high now won’t start and flashing light on dash. Is there a way of disconnecting gearbox censer. So bloody thing starts
 
I am not familiar with the gearbox light on a 1999 110 td5 where on the dash is it located and what is the symbol.
No sorry. It’s engine immobiliser that me assuming after playing with high low does anyone know how to get around this without a computer

Yes but it is a faf and you need your security code.
ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the vehicle’s security system, and occurs automatically
whenever the alarm system is armed. The system also includes a feature known as ’passive
immobilisation’, which is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft should the driver forget to arm the
alarm.

Passive immobilisation occurs automatically as follows:

• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has been turned off and the driver’s door opened.
• Five minutes after the starter switch is turned off or the alarm system is disarmed.
If the engine has immobilised passively, re-mobilisation will occur when the starter switch is
turned to position ’II’, provided the handset is on the same ring as key and in close proximity to the switch.

ALWAYS keep the handset on the same ring as the key.
NEVER attach both handsets to the same key ring. Any attempt to start the engine while it is immobilised
will cause the engine immobilisation warning light to flash.

Engine immobilisation override
If the handset is lost or fails to operate, the engine immobilisation can be overridden by using the starter
key to enter the four digit emergency access code. The procedure for entering the code is described after
the following note:

NOTE: If the handset is lost or inoperative, it is impossible to disarm the alarm. As
soon as the door is opened, the alarm will sound (continuously for up to three 30 second
periods), and continue while the code is being entered.


1. With the driver’s door closed, insert the key into the starter switch.
2. Turn the switch to position ’II’ the required number of times to enter first digit of code (if first digit is 4, turn key to position ’II’ and then back to ’0’ four times.
3. Open the driver’s door (to enter first digit) and then close the door again.
4. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ and back to ’0’ the required number of times to enter SECOND digit of code.
5. Open the driver’s door (to enter second digit) and then close the door again.
6. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ and back to ’0’ the required number of times to enter THIRD digit of code.
7. Open the driver’s door (to enter third digit) and then close door again.
8. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ and back to ’0’ the required number of times to enter FOURTH digit of code.
9. Finally, open and close the driver’s door. If the code has been entered correctly, the anti-theft indicator light will extinguish, the engine can be started and the alarm will disarm.

If an incorrect code has been entered:
If the code is entered incorrectly, the anti-theft indicator light will continue to illuminate and the engine will fail to start. Before entering the code again, turn the starter switch to position ’II’, hold in this position for 5 seconds and then switch off.
After three failed attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of thirty minutes during which
the system will not accept any further codes.
