Starting to get pissed off at this datsun now
Someone has fitted a dodgy aftermarket immobilizer (why I don't know :P) resulting in the car not starting at all this morning even with a brand new battery.

I need to find a way to disable the immobilizer.

What type of alarm is in it?

Attached.

Where in Cork is that?
Failing the purchase of it, I have a friend selling a '05 320ci Msport.
Black and clean with around 60k on the clock.

Johnny 5 is sad.

Not fully up on some of the banter here, but is that a real old datsun. Or a joking reference to a nissan?

If it's a datsun, guessing no ecu so it might be pain but there cant be that much going on with the immobiliser, should be fixable or removeable handy enough. (id fix/replace it, scumbags love a car with no immobiliser...)

No, it is an actual datsun that I bought at the weekend
It has been modded a bit by the previous owner - i kindof half knew him through a friend of a friend- and amongst other things he has added a crappy aftermarket alarm and immobilizer.

I will be getting a new (working) immobilizer and alarm fitted of course, but before then I don't like the idea of being stranded somewhere because "computer says no" :P, like if I get it fixed and brought to midway for instance!

So the coolest thing just happened.
I live near a hotel that regularly puts up bus loads of Japanese tourists. Not sure where they were walking to but a big group of them just walked by my house, one of them spots my car and next thing there's about 15-20 cameras snapping pics of the little blue Eunos that's traveled so far from home.
I knocked at the window and gave them a wave and a thumbs up, they waved and looked delighted with what they found. Haha

Too busy taking pictures, you know the stereotype.
Wish I went out to them, could have gotten pictures of them all with it. Hahaha

Anyone know what type of dipped beam bulb a 2008 Mazda 6 uses?

They take H11 bulbs.

206 serviced today. Running fine now. Was idling too low and that sorted out the really bad shaking after a long drive or when reversing. Fixed the water leak in the boot too, the seal around the tail light was the culprit, i think. Pollen filter was changed only 4k miles ago, at the last service, so it should be ok for a while yet. Next up, the NCT!
