For F*ck’s Sake...

Just went out to go to work...

Immobiliser deactivated with the keyfob, keys in... Quietly trying to turn over.

Tried again - nothing. Lights flicking on and off, doors locking / unlocking, indicators going... No start though.

Disconnected battery for a few minutes to reset things, just in case...

Windows opening slightly more slowly than usual, blah blah.

Mate's on his way over, see if a jump start will do it (on one hand does seem like it) but I think it's immobiliser.

Any ideas? Will I get to work?

if there's power, yet it's not even trying to turn over it could either be fault with immobiliser or jammed starter motor

 

Hmm, does seem to be a slight whirr in which case starter motor is a possibility.

Immobiliser has played up before though.

I dunno.

Can lock this up - posted it in the wrong section for a speedy reply but it ain't gonna' happen.

Cheers anyway, better go sort out a lift.

that happened to mine but i'd just knocked a wire off the starter motor while messing around with coolant pipes..

 

Sounds more like the battery is flat.

 

windows n stuff still moving tho...

 

try the multiplug in the back of the fusebox

 

Windows moving slowly, immobiliser clicks when turning the key- sounds exactly like flat battery.

 

my friends rover 200 had this exactly, starter motor was shot

 

earth?
