Immobiliser kicking in by the sounds of things.

Try a portable jumpstart or jump leads and give it a while to charge, sounds like you batt is really flat....

have u got a battery charger you could try first? just a quick idea

 

[john.med]

Mine was the same after being left halfway up a hill in wales for two weeks while I was on holiday, used a garages portable jumpstart and it worked,.. jump leads and bumping it down the hill didn't.

this guy across the road said bring your battery over n i'll charge it but armed only with a tiny adjustable spanner i cant reach the bolt that holds the battery in!!!

Yes lol

You can lock it by leaning in the passenger door, hitting the central locking button and then locking the passenger door on the key. That should secure it for you.

I had a similar problem and I turned my key over the other way (hope this makes sense) and it worked from then on! The key just wasn't disarming the imobiliser!

I had replaced the car battery and everything!!!

will try this, from what i can tell i think the ecu is f**cked my rs tuner throws up a fault saying something about security and cant access ecu.

took me ages to gather all the bits needed to get my mac mini and 20" screen in the car so i could even try the rs tuner!!!

now my problem is do i spend 60 quid on road side cover only to be told my car is f**cked i'll need to get it fixed...

on top of that work keep asking if im coming in?!?!

quick question, my battery is at 9 volts after being on a fast charge for 30mins, i assume this isnt right as the rs tuner threw up a fault saying battery below 12v or cant be checked do you want to continue? is this any indication that the problem is one thing rather than another?

put a new battery on there sounds like its confusing the immob, you may have to have the codes reset after there very funny when the battery goes flat
