I knew it was only a matter of time, but
the poxy immobiliser has now done the inevitable and won't respond to the fob. The only saving grace is that it's in my drive and hasn't left me stranded in the arese end of nowhere (I'm trying to concentrate on the positives!).
I checked the batteries and cleaned up the terminals in the fob, but apart from that there isn't much more I can do from here. So as far as I can see I have two options: have the Jeep towed to my not-particularly-competent and disinterested Jeep dealer and leave them a blank cheque, or get a PCM from the states and be done with the immobiliser.
New PCM is looking like the good option. Even if it takes a while and is expensive it's still likely to be quicker and cheaper than the dealer. But I've been in touch with a guy in the states with a good rep for this sort of thing and he says that he can't get the right part as it's an export only item. Am I safe to tell him to ignore the part number and just send me a PCM from the same year/engine/transmission?
Alternatively anyone else got any other suggestions?
