It sounds very much like the problem outlined in this thread - the problem started with a flat battery and I tried jump starting the car with leads and then the immobiliser light came on. Any advice welcome. I don't expect to hear from Mazda until 03.01.14
Get it out of stockport mazda RRG quick before they slap a bill on you we rescued one a couple of years back for a owner from there that had a immobiliser fault in the end after a lot of work that they had left her in, not got a good word for stockport mazda with other dealings i have had with them myself and for other owners, the immbiliser you can do yourself after getting the right parts, which we can advise you on, in the mean time after we talked Barry through it all to do it him self he was kind enough to put this together for others to use

These might be worth a read also from the one we rescued for Martin
