engine wont start when check engine lights blink

The check engine light is flashing because the engine is immobilised. It is not a fault.

Either you have both keys together on the same ring, or the sensor coil has got a loose connection.

It wont take 10 minutes to remove the plastic cowling around the ignition switch to check the sensor coil.

ok thank you, but can you tell me how come some times it does work and then other times it doesnt if it the sencor coil has a lose connection

and also what do i look for? what does the sencor coil look like? is it part of the part the key goes in???


thank you soo much for all your replies.

dont know if this is a coinsidence, when I insert key 1 it start flashing after a second. when i insert key 2 it works perfect now, allthough earlyer today that key 2 showed same problem.

hi all. just managed to get talking to that dealer. he advised me that the problem lies with the spare key.

It does indeed seem to be that key causing the problem.

he said that the problem is because that spare key lost the code as it wasnt used for a long time.
In all fairness to this gentleman, he told me he will be making arrangements with a dealer close by to me tomorow to get it sorted free of charge.
it needs to be reset.
fair play to him I would say.


thx to all of you for your advise and suggestions

He doesn't have a clue what is wrong :side:

Then it will be their problem, doesn't matter what is causing it.

Good result, I thought you might have to drive back 380 miles to get it sorted
