peugeot 306 turbodiesel - martyb
I recently got a 306 turbodiesel that needed an engine, (the previous owner blew it up and it threw a rod through the engine), and I have since changed the engine, but now it wont start. It sat for about 5 months and flattened the battery. It has a plip type key. Does this mean it has an immobiliser fitted, and if so, how do i reset the thing. It seems to be getting fuel up to the pump but no further, and is turning over on the key. Any help greatly appreciated. Ta

iirc, the Bosch pumps fitted to this engine post 1998 have some form of immobilising device fitted that talks to the ECU...

On mine (93 XTDT model), the starter motor will not turn over, when the immobiliser kicks in (you get the red STOP light come on).

As madf says, on later models, you need to bypass the stop solenoid immobiliser. There is some sort of security plate which needs to be removed which surrounds it, to be able to get access and then bypass it (ie feed the stop solenoid directly).
