The immobiliser solenoid in the pump, you'll either need to program it to the PATS module or remove it and do a bit of wiring. Assuming it diesel of course.

You wont get the gear to do it, well not for a price that makes it worth while doing it.

I assume you still have the old injection pump?

Take it off the engine and take the steel backplate off, behind that is a black box, swap that into the new injection pump and it will run and the immobiliser will continue to work! It is possible to do it with the pump in place but it is fiddly

yes i still have the other pump to i will swap the box tomorow thankyou if u have any diagrams etc it would help thanks it will save me taking it to the main dealers

it will void your warranty if its a new pump, just go to the main dealers its not going to cost the earth!! it will only take them 10 minutes
