The cut off switch appeared to click in. I have been using the car since it was reversed into, so not sure if that was a red herring.

The garage man did not have any EasyStart with him so it has been upon the low loader and I will update you once I have had some news.


As an aside one of his customers has just sold him an immaculate blue diesel 75 auto saloon with 90K miles. Has a rattling bottom pulley.
Price??? £200!!!! I would have bitten his hand off for that.

I now have a working car. I gather it was the ECU not sending pulses to the injectors - something to do with the immobiliser being corrupted.

HI Mike.
Nice to hear you are up and running how did you get it solved in the end & by whom ?

My "local" garage towed it away and did the investigation. I told them if they suspected the ECU to give it to me and I would send it upto Marinabrian to be looked at as he is the expert. Unfortunately when I inquired how they were progressing they had already sent it to their expert. It sounds, like as Marinabrian suspected that it was to do with the security seed in the immobilizer.
