H5 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Update on this if anyone is interested! Turns out it was the immobiliser unit that had gone bang - new one fitted by local autoelectrician and good to go again. What he did say you might find interesting though... He reckons it blew when my mate tried to jump start the car after the winter lay-off. He says, when jumping a car, always turn on as much electrical equipment as you can on both cars (lights/fans etc etc) to avoid voltage spikes when you jump it as this is normally what fries electrical components. I always thought you should put as little load on the cars as possible but he said this is a common mistake that could cause all sorts of problems...... Ironically now the same problem I have with the Volvo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
