    It's easier to find the wires they cut into IMO, often the wires at the immobiliser unit will all be black and it won't be clear which wire cuts into which, or which provides power and ground to the immobiliser.

    sorry should have been more clear i know you reconnect the cut cables i just thought it would be easier to locate control box and trace where the wires go to in order to remove immobiliser from circuit.also that way you can do a clean removal of the whole unit.

    Well no surprise but the keys haven't been found/handed in at the nightclub, takeaway or police as of yet. I've got someone coming out tomorrow to sort out the car key at a cost of around £60. Slightly cheaper through Vauxhall but faff of going there with docs and waiting for key to arrive. Local garage that we use is going to send someone out to disconnect the immobiliser.

    She will be getting a spare key cut before she's allowed to drive the car again!
