I'd reckon you have a faulty circuit in the immobiliser.

Carl Baker should be able to sort it for you (search for him).

An indie may also be able to help you.

As you are not a regular poster on here you'll appreciate we won't be the most helpful people you've met when it comes to giving out lots of info re how to start a Cerb.

Sorry but that's just the way it is.

Hi Carl

It sounds like you use the silver key every time you turn the engine on and off.

The silver key does not like being turned too often as many owners will tell you.

It could be a wire has fallen off the back of the silver key switch as it has been turned so often.

Might be worth a check.

Regards

Simon

No it's not.

Google search pistonheads for any help but you've had a fault for three years?
