Hi

I have just bought a Cat c car for an engine transplant, it has no clocks fitted but comes with the keys etc... the car turns over and fires for a second, very smooth, then cuts out - do I need to have the clocks fitted for it to carry on or could it be another issue?

Without the clocks you are going nowhere. They contain the immobiliser and this is most likely what is causing the cut out. You will have to find a suitable replacement and have it coded to accept the keys. Hopefully it then starts and runs as expected.

Thanks, just as I thought - is a big job to get coded out?
