Hi, I'm requesting some advice swapping out a (jamming) ignition lock barrel on my 1996 2.0 omega.
I fitted a replacement however the engine now won't start I suspect the immobiliser is preventing this.
The new lock seems identical to the original and none of the keys (original & new) have electronics in them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Little rectangular/cuboid dark-coloured lump inside the plastic housing. Swap from original into new key. This is the 'chip' that the immobiliser needs to recognise.

thanks, I didn't notice the chip when I took the key apart - I'll take a closer look when I get home tonight
