Imobiliser problem
- Thread starter Bigmonty

CLIO 1.5 DCI I-MUSIC
Push key into ignition putting pressure forcing it in, should work.
I really don't see how pushing the key in with force would solve the imobiliser problem?..
If the red light is solid it's not a key problem or anything like that but that's as much as I can help you sorry!
If I recall there is no way to bypass the immobiliser even though I don't actually think that's the actual fault. Also, turn the key to ignition on and wait to see the red immobiliser light and see what it does, if it stays solid then don't bother even trying to start as it won't and trying to turn it over when it's not going to start can be doing the engine any good.
I had this issue with my 182, never actually got to the bottom of it as it was pretty random times it did it, sometimes I'd leave it and go back to the car half an hour later and it would be fine and work for a while.
Some suggestions I had was a possible earth problem / possible wiring problem from the big clump of wire near the battery/fuse box that can wear the plastic sheet off one of the cables.
sorry for the limited info I'm sure someone else will be along to expand a little!

Can ANYONE help on this issue? (ive read so many posts but cant find a clear cure)
I'm having exactly the same thing.... Sometimes it will just turnover and not try to fire. Then other times it will start immediately!
The led will sometimes flash really fast , other times just flash slow when the ignition is it turned on ?
Thanks

Flashing is key not recognised. Try resync procedure. If that doesn't work get the faults read.
Solid light is earth, ignition relay or a duff uch

Thanks for that but....
What is the resync procedure?
I had it read on a machine before but the mechanic said nothing was coming up, but obviously there is something wrong as sometimes i go to the car and it just turns over for ages and doesnt fire, other times it will start first try.
