It's a 95 Sri if that helps...

I know my old 93 gls was NOT imobilised...
Anyone know if there is anyway of finding out...

The door locks are easy enough... And I have a barrel with keys in the garage...
Just the imobiliser that concerns me..

take a lock out and get it to a locksmith they can do a key in 15mins

If you take the cowling off under the ignition if there is an chip reader (square black thing strapped round the ignition) then it has it, it probably has being a late sri

Some immobilizer boxes are behind the glove box too, as I suspect like it's the case on my V6. And on my early manual, with the Vauxhall 902 system. Probably best looking at breakers, Cavaliers or Calibras, as I'm sure the Calibras had XEV engines in them as well.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
