santa Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This morning I got in the car as normal, belt on, foot on brake, press Power Button and it didn't start. The lights all came on the dash and the radio worked but the starter did nothing. I tried several times but still nothing. I got out and locked it all up and then got back in and it worked as it should..... Now I am worried that it is going to let me down when I really need it. Anyone got any ideas please?

alexp999 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Sounds like the immobiliser might have got triggered for some reason. Perhaps it was just a momentary glitch. The only thing I can think of is seeing if there are any fault codes recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santa Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks Alex - I guess doing what I did was pretty much like turning my computer off and on again to clear a fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santa Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 A bit belated I know_ I eventually called the AA out when it packed up completely in Cheshire. The Patrol guy (Shaun) spent ages testing everything without success and eventually they carted it off to my local dealer (70 miles away). They told me that they had fitted a new starter motor. It's fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
