is the UCH the fuseboard?

tried bumping the car tonight 3 times and still nothing, just get a really faint sound of exhaust noise (prob just some fuel coming through from somewhere i guess) Red light flashes inbetweener the 2 dials when key is fully turned in the ignition barrel

Nice one mate u legend! I phpned the local dealers again and they said the immobiliser light is now flashing because i disconnected the battery for few hours and its now got itself "confused" (his words) they then said if i lock and unlock the car with the fob and allow it to arm a couple of...

no idea what sensor then pal? cheers tho

cheers mate what part is the decoder? Where is it located and where can I buy one from second hand?

Update Battery off last night, stuck on charge for a few hours as it said it needing charging, but it back on the car and still nothing. Immobiliser light is now flashing when the key is turned 1 click off starting, when you go to turn the key to start - nothing. Not even the click noise...

Does anyonehave any pics of where it can be found on the car? I have read a few posts saying its near the manifold and in a real pig of a place to change but if anyones got any pics that would be good

I have just spoken to my local stealers about this issue and they dont reckon its the immobiliser. They suggested I try jump starting it tonight and also putting it in gear and rocking it back and forward. If that doesnt work then he said its most likely my starter motor

mmmmmmmmm cheers for your advice but I have tried the spare key too and does exactly the same thing so very doubtful that both batterys in the fobs have gone but could be a cheap fix so will see if the local supermarket has any batterys later on

bump

Thanks JackJack, cant remember now, but will be sure to check it later on, would it be solid red when the key is taken out the barrel?

No, nothing at all, lights wipers radio etc all work fine. Theres a another wire coming off the batery which i'm guessing is alarm and immobiliser so i might try taking that off the power and then trying it, I cant see it being a flat battery as like I say its quite new and everything electrical...

Sold my 172 last night to my brother, nothing wrong with it at all, its been sat on the drive for about 2 weeks but started last night fine. He goes out to go to work in it this morning and the poxy thing wont start. Have not tried bumping it yet but hopefully its just the battery, but the...

Hi guys sorry to be a scrooge and not renew my membership, got someone coming to look at my 172 tonight. They just called and asked if the 172 manifold is 4-1 or 4-2-1. He said the 182 has 4-2-1 and thats what gives it the extra 10hp?? Can someone confirm if the 172 came out the factory...

well basically i press the boot release button just before taking the keys out and the car runs for about 4mins and it still lets me alarm the car and rcl the doors. are you saying i just need to buy a clifford cable and download the software in your link? cheers mate

nice one mate, will use as reference. I emailed a load of ppl on ebay and they all came back saying only a clifford engineer can do it through the computer software, never mind hey!

Yeah it is a mess, dont go there that often but when i do i give it the beans! I was looking at your older posts in a stalker sort of way!! Did you ever find anyone thats fitted springs before, cos i have changed the springs on 3 clio sports that i have owned :)

Newick lane - amazing road! Love the straight bit can get some good overtakes along there :) Craig - didnt really look at the back but it had a black diamond on the front and like ScarySquirrel says different wheels (god knows what) exhaust looks aftermarket too. I tried to chase but no...
