Having issues with my 1995 Mini sidewalk 1275 immobilizer. It has always been a problem so I sent the unit off to Germany to have it reprogrammed and a bypass unit created in case it doesn't work. It has been stuck in customs in Germany for 4 days now. My question is this. If the immobiliser gets lost or it still doesn't work when/if I get it back, can I just put a regular distributor in and change out the intake for an older intake and carburetor setup? I don't see why it wouldn't work if it all bolts up the same. Get rid of the whole fuel injection and computer. The immobiliser has been problematic since the day I got the car 3 years ago, The car is bricked as of this writing. I love the car, hate the immobiliser.
