any ideas, summers nearly gone and i need to feel the wind in my hair!
cheers paul

No simple answer you need an auto electrician with the appropriate kit to diagnose the problem. Immobilisers cannot easily be removed successfully as the manufacturers make them tamper proof for obvious reasons.

Auto electrrician or no go. Simples

Not sure how Ford immobilisers work, but usually when one fails you can still turn the car over but it won't fire.

Check obvious things like fuses first.
