Help Please!

So I get myself a lovely new Chimera 4.0 yesterday, having a great time. Then I went to unlock it today, after having parked outside a mates house for a few hours, and....................nothing, not a sound! no reassuring clunk of the doors unlocking tried again and again for 15 mins or so. Fortunatly before buying this beauty I had read the "bible", curtosy of Mr Heath, and had chatted to the dealer and learnt about the other way to get into the car! (shall say no more for security reasons, not that I can lock mine!)

So I got home, using the 'key' for the imobiliser, changed the batteries on the remote and it still won't work. It's locked up in the garage with the imobiliser on but I cant lock the doors and I'm going away tomorrow morning for a couple of weeks.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

James.

Thanks guys. That sounds like a good way of securing the car - at least I can do that. I'm hoping that it's just the clicker gone wrong, I won't know until my wife gets back from work in the early hours with her set of keys. It doesn't seem to work at all as even when I got in it would not mobilise the imobiliser, if you know what I mean! Got a cab coming at 0615hrs ouch!

Hi guys,

Just got back from what turned out to be a very short 2 weeks away, work not holiday! Went out to the car with my wife's clicker and nothing happened! So I sat in the car and tried it again and the system seemed to re-set itself and now it is working correctly. Altohugh it does seem that someone has dissconnected the siren! Hmmmmm!

I'm wondering if the fact that they took the stereo out before selling it could have anything to do with my problems?? Steve - any ideas? I understand from other threads that it is on the same circuit as the locking etc.?????

I must say that I'm sorry that you are all having the same problem - but!!! it's nice to know I'm not out there on my own!

Angusfaldo - could you please tell me where this garage is as I am in Hitchin and the dealer wants £69.50 + VAT ! per hour just for the labour!

Cheers all and thanks again for all the response - this is the sort of thing that money just can't buy.

Unfortunatly I did not buy from a main dealer. I did get it from a reputable sports car garage and it has a 3 month waranty but they will only pay the first £25 per hour of labour. Better than a poke in the eye I suppose.
