Common reasons we are called

Vehicle won't start? It could be the immobiliser

Every week our team deals with immobiliser problems across Northamptonshire and the East Midlands. The most common situations are vehicles that will not start because of a faulty aftermarket unit, second-hand vehicles with an unknown system from a previous owner, and customers who want an old unit removed before upgrading to a new system. Whatever the reason — if an immobiliser is causing you a problem, we can diagnose and resolve it.

"We always diagnose first. Before we remove anything, we identify exactly what has been fitted and why it is causing the problem. That way we do not remove something that does not need removing."

Call us now
Faulty immobiliser — vehicle won't start
A Ford Transit won't start because the aftermarket immobiliser has developed a fault. A Mercedes Sprinter's OBD port immobiliser has stopped responding. A canbus unit has failed and is preventing the engine from firing. We diagnose and resolve all of these.
Second-hand vehicle — unknown immobiliser
You bought a second-hand Range Rover and have no idea what immobiliser has been fitted or what the PIN is. This is one of the most common calls we receive. We identify the system and either recover the PIN or remove the unit.
Previous owner's or employer's system
A VW Transporter has a canbus immobiliser installed by a previous employer. The new owner needs it removed. A lease vehicle was returned with a security system still fitted. We remove it cleanly.
OBD port immobiliser problems
An OBD port plug-in immobiliser is blocking the vehicle's diagnostic system or causing starting issues. We remove all OBD port units safely without damaging the vehicle's electronics.
Upgrade to a new system
A customer wants their old, unrecognised immobiliser removed before fitting a genuine Phantom canbus system. We handle the removal and the new installation in a single visit.
Unknown unit — not sure what is fitted
You have been told there is an immobiliser on the vehicle but nobody can tell you what it is or where it is. We locate, identify and advise on the best course of action.

Immobiliser types we remove

All types of immobiliser removed safely

01
Canbus immobilisers — all brands
We remove all canbus immobiliser systems including Phantom, Ghost, Autowatch, Clifford and unbranded units. Canbus immobilisers integrate with your vehicle's electronics — removal requires specialist knowledge to avoid damage.
02
OBD port immobilisers
Plug-in units fitted to the vehicle's OBD diagnostic port — often used as a quick, inexpensive security measure. We remove all OBD port immobilisers safely without affecting the vehicle's diagnostic system.
03
Basic aftermarket immobilisers
Cut-off switches, starter interrupt units and basic relay-based immobilisers from all manufacturers. Often fitted by previous owners with no documentation. We locate, identify and remove cleanly.
04
Ghost immobilisers
We remove Ghost canbus immobilisers where the PIN has been lost or the unit has developed a fault. Ghost removal requires specialist equipment and expertise — our team has the tools and knowledge.
05
Unknown and unidentified units
If you do not know what has been fitted — we find it. We locate the unit, identify the make and model, and advise on the most efficient removal method before touching anything.
06
Removal and upgrade packages
Remove your old system and upgrade to a genuine Phantom canbus immobiliser in a single visit. One price, one warranty. The most popular option for customers whose existing system has failed or become unreliable.
Not sure what is fitted?
