A second opinion is needed then. If it has crash data then it can be removed (for a fee) or you can try a second hand one but it will need some config work I'd say unless you buy one from an identical spec vehicle.
I wouldn't recommend buying new
LoL - Yeah, you'd *think* wouldn't you but a "service" to most places these days is nothing more than screwing on a new oil filter and chaning the oil for £99. This is not a proper service so they proberbly wouldn't look or even care if they did.
You need to check the actual wiring on the car between the plug at the sensor end and the ECU.
Something somewhere is broken hence the "open circuit" and it will stay that way until you find it.
I got done like this with a SORN before that I actually sent via post and guess what (? Rhet) I still had to pay the fine.
They've got your name and address against that registration mark (which show every other detail as being correct) so if you're sure it's not yours and refuse to pay a fine...
Chris, if you need it then anyone with CLIP can hook you up chap. If it happens its a quick job that even a local Stealer can rectify but don't let them charge you am hour for it as it takes 10mins at most (including boot time and plugging in)
You cannot "reset" the immobiliser!
It is the key at fault... Squeezing it whilst holding the button does nothing but prove a fault on the PCB with the exciter. In fact I'm like Ducan Valentine and "I'm out"
A new key is likely to cure this yeah but it may also be a UCH fault... Something else not cheap!
Easiest thing, and I say this not as a trader simply trying to extract £25 from your pocket, is have it plugged in on CLIP!
This will do more than "code read" as firstly it will inspect the...
You may need some UCH re-config work to Chris if the new stalk doesn't work straight away. They are configured at factory with a few options:
Rain sensor: with/without
Automatic wipers: with/without
Variable speed wipe: with/without
It may need updating to work.
If you're close to Nottingham pop it in and I'll fix it properly for you. I've had two X65 Clios, a Laguna II and a Kangoo this week alone with similar issues... Must be the weather

It's really annoying as its going to come up on any subsequent HPi checks and make a legit vehicle look dodgy.
I also have a copy of Renaults warranty repair details for the vehicle which confirms the work so I could email the NMR admin and get the vehicle record updated but I'm hoping the car...
I'm deffo in still unlike Polish members that can't afford to turn that last minute shift down or to buy adult sized T-Shirts (LoL)
Where we meeting at 7 team? ("Gang" just sounds too "Harpham")
Panick over thanks to a quick call to renault UK. Turns out the panel was replaced on 3/2/2011 @ 29999miles so the vehicle has covered 47150miles
Looks like the NMR entry is full of s**te!
