First things first... I wanted to check the fault codes.
This meant finding the OBD port. I had a head start on this because we have a Seat Alhambra of similar vintage (wifes car). The port is under the ashtray.
Unfortunately, the ashtray was under about an inch of ash.
After scraping it all out, I discovered another inch of ash under the ashtray!
Eventually I found the port... plugged in the cable and... nothing. Port was dead, no power at all.
I checked the fuses, all fine. So rather than waste more time tracing the fault through the loom which i'll be removing anyway, I just bridge a wire from the cigarette lighter to the OBD port live connection.
Read the fault codes, and all seems good.
I have a couple of Airbag faults which arent an issue, and a 01176 - Key fault.
Which i'm not going to worry too much about. Ive cleared the fault and will see if it returns. For the time being everything with the immobiliser circuit seems fine so i'll see if it comes back...
