Rover ignition problem

A local dealer I know is offering me a Rover 620 Si P reg at a baragain price. He acquired the vehicle as part of a job lot transaction.

He has informed me that the car has an ignition/immobiliser problem that prevents the car from being started. There is a log book, MOT, some service history and receipts for the car from previous owner.

Anyone know if this is a common issue and what kind of money would it take to put it right.

I have known this dealer for a number of years, and am fully confident the car is all above board and no shady past.

Thanks in advance for any info .

Obviously more than the dealer is willing to spend, given that a non-runner is worth so much less than a runner - especially if otherwise a reasonable car.

Could well involve a new ECU and keys, etc. I'd try ATP first.

HI, the P reg is the facelifted version wich requires a redkey to allow new keys to be programmed. A new Alarm ECU and red key costs lots of money.. Though I think the ECU can be bypassed. If you ask on the rover 600 yahoo group or
