Thread: Immobiliser issues, PUMA 2012

re locked door: You will find the front door lock actuator or harness is at fault and unrelated to the immobiler issue.

re crap immobiliser:
Its not sophisticated electronics, its simply crap, simple answer no.

Early Defender TDCi - Green coloured imobiliser (same as previous TD5) unit can be programmed off (but still must remain connected, this unit can also be repaired).
Next is a black cased unit with the same plugs as the green one was no longer available, i havent found anyone that can repair them yet.
Last model Defender TDCi has a chrome/black Plip is the apparently last generation and is still looking like its plagued with failure.

The whole thing is a total stuff up by Jaguar Land Rover.

You will probably need a replacement/spare 10as for puma

Green is better than black

And a nanocom to program the plip...


In fact you can never completely disable the immobiliser, as in you will always need a functioning 10as to start the car.

If your 10as is faulty, then........Your defender won't start even if you have disable the immobiliser....

There is a work around for removing the 10AS for the TD5’s, would have thought there would be a work around the the puma.

Bugger... I was under the understanding that through your nanocom that u could totally disable it......

I believe that using the old system that was used in the last of the D1's can be grafted into the 2.4 Pumas.... or so MR told me at least

Mine went in my MY13 2.2, the car would often not unlock and I had to wait 10 mins and try again. Used to leave the windows down when I could, but often couldn't force the lock up. Worst episode kept me on the road side for 1/2 hour or so.
MR did the D1 graft for me, not cheap. So far I haven't had any problems but it often runs the locks down for 3 or 4 seconds which sounds pretty terrible. I've gone and serviced all of the lock mechanisms (which may have been my problem in the first place) but it still does the overlocking thing.

Cheers Glen.
