Why won't my Nissan Navara start?

My Nissan Navara's engine is turning over, but not starting. The alarm light on the dashboard does not go out and the central locking isn't working on the key fob. I've replaced the lock set key, ECU, keyless unit and smart unit.

You've got it down to an alarm/immobiliser issue but I can;t tell you where the problem is. Probably something silly like a duff earth. A car electrical specialist from the Yellow Pages should be able to help.
