JoeyMk6 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Immobiliser will only prevent the fuel pump from running so it would still turn over but not start, Battery or electrical issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 my old 1.3 had electrical issues with the alternator, had it changed twice during the ownership of it. so i would presume alternator, battery or starter motor. does everthing else work on the car for example stereo, lights etc??? if so starter motor may have seized up, give it a good wack with a hammer or similar heavy tool and try to see if that starts it!
