[928uk] Intermittent Immobiliser Issue

[BILL ROBERTSON via 928uk]

Oscar, I had the same problem and it was sorted by disconnecting the
immobiliser....funnily enough the alarm buttons on the doors and dash still
work so it looks like it is still alarmed. The company I used was Prestige
Porsche who say that the company that manufactured the alarm are still
around and can supply a like system. I have had no problems since it was
done but have held off for a while to see.

Regards, Bill
