Immobilizer or me...

[vee8]

Occassionaly the immobolizer won't disarm. This is becoming quite frequent. Today for example, I was in a queue for a multistorey car park. Being a Guardian reader I turn off the ignition and waited for the queue to clear a bit befor proceeding. Imagine my embarrisment when I came to restart her...nuffunk. Needed the help of the car park assistant to push me beneath the barrier and into a space. 5 mins later she roared into life.

Any idears anyone...excepting that I probably need to ensure I always travel with a passenger.

Sure it's immobiliser & not hot start? Does the fuel pump prime?

Pretty sure it's the imm. Nothing at all, just doesn't turn over.

Have you tried both the plipper & the key thingy that presses into the socket thingy? (to elimiate the possibility of duff battery in plipper)

My "hot start problem" symptoms were: fuel pump primed but the starter motor didn't turn over.

Exacertly...hence the question..fuel pump primes = probably not immobiliser

[vee8]

Nope. Pump does not prime, and socket device doesn't clear problem. Oh yes another constant is that it seems to happen with the roof off.
