  Does anyone know where I can get a Bosch immobiliser repaired ?

I am certain that there is not much wrong with it as the fault is intermitent.

  The usual suspects I assume, Micras, old Civics, etc. With small petrol engines, is mileage more important than age?  And which is the best online search resource - is it Auototrader?
