my alarm was an after market one, So ive just ripped the whole thing out. But thanks for the ideas

I went out and had another look, took some trim panels off and followed the fuel pump wires from the pump back and sure enough there was some sort of relay im guessing was an imobiliser for the alarm, soor it out, connected the wire up and sure enough ITS ALIVE!@

such a good feeling after driving a gutless 2.0L peugeot for like 3 months...

I went to take it around the block to check everythings all good... it somehow turned into a 1 hour drive. haha

Thanks for help guys

one other thing though, the tacho seems to be out now, it idles where it should and goes to zero when the cars off, but through the rev range its showing higher then it should (as in the needle will go off the end of the gauge before I hit the rev limiter, in 5th the tacho is now a fair bit ahead of the speed, they use to line up pretty much perfectly... ect) What could be causing that? more electrical gremblins?

very likely. some immobiliser systems can really be "in there". I pulled one out of my missus cabriolet - after that, it had no power to fuel pump, electric windows, glow plug circuit (which came off the normal ignition on circuit).

However, being a tacho problem..... maybe its something strange like something grounding where it shouldnt be....

hmm. pretty sure this was the most simple immobiliser thing ever so ont know if it will be related. I might have knocked another wire or something though :/ When I put the key in and turn it to the click before running the starter (why I cant think of what thats called at the moment I do not know, it happens ) it turns as far as it can clockwise. Then when I start it up it goes back down to roughly where it should be. Confused me at first as I was like im sure it pulled harder than this at 6000 rpm and was doing closer to 100 not 70 in 2nd gear...
