Title: Grand Cherokee immobiliser
Post by: Nosebolt on January 14, 2011, 01:00:37 PM: there seems a lot on the bay with immobiliser faults, is this a known issue? is it masking something else? and how hard is it to fix? or should I walk away from them all?

Probably safe to assume sell would have tried that before punting it out on eBay so will keep looking for a runner

I would assume the complete opposite mate, altho when u turn up and get it runnin for them they may be less keen on the knock down price
