If its not the battery, as JohnV6 says, change the ECU, the M16 was unlikely to have an ECU with an mobiliser as standard as the following early T16 did not have an mobiliser.
My T16 has MKC10034e the one that followed was MKC10115e, both these are non immobiliser but best to check what the M16 was originally fitted with.
Perhaps an M16 owner on here can give you the ECU number fitted as standard?
