eka

You say your turning the key 4 times to the left to start with, earlier cars you didnt do that, just made sure you started from the car being locked. what year is your car?

its a 2001 4.6 vogue

I often get a message in the dash display that says 'press remote to start engine' after entering the EKA, sometimes the EKA won't disable the immobiliser without me pushing the unlock button on the fob

It sounds like you have a deeper issue though - BTW sometimes I hear a 'chirp' when entering EKA and other times nothing, I do see the indicators flashing when entering the code though. Hope you get it sorted

i think im gonna have to bite the bullit and send off my bcem and ecu buy my only concern is what if its not the bcem and something to do with the it not recognising the unlock sequence these fu****g rangies.

Diagnostics might be cheaper, the EKA code can be entered via a Nanocom

Make sure they are wrapped up in £20 notes. Good luck.
