Hi all,
can anyone tell me if you disconect the speedo on a p1, will it then refuse to start once re conected???
I disconected this today to make space to fit a boost gauge i pulled the whole speedo out.
Once i re conected everything and put the car back together it wouldnt and still wont start,
Any ideas,

 

it shouldn't make any difference what does it do i.e crank or won't crank

 

I thought that surely everyone thats done the blue light conversion didnt have this problem??
I think the immobalisers messing about, but the alarm seems to be working fine, it arms,disarms on the button, you get in turn the key all the lights are working but wont turn over.
When you turn thr key you get a loud cherp from the alarm,you can hear the fuel pump working but the damm thing wont start!!!!

 

flat battery

No its not the battery, i put a meter on it and tried jump starting still wouldnt bloody have it????

 

if the car wont turn over are u just getting the clicking sound.the immob wont affect the car turning over it.if not turning over then its battery or jammed starter motor.try putting car in 2nd and rocking it.this sometimes will clear the jam if not sounds like starter motor prob

 

the immobilier does stop the car from turning over, thats the whole point of it. So there could be a fault here. If the battery is flat or nearly flat it should still make a small attempt to start

 

check starter motor by turning ign to run (on) position, open bonnet.. CAR NOT IN GEAR) then bridge the large pos. Connection on the starter motor to the solenoid connection.. and watch your hands (as the engine should possibly start)

If you dont understand the above then dont try it.

On mine there is a keypad in the glove box. Try keying in the code and see if this helps. Don't know the procedure though, cos I've never used it! Not even 100% sure what it is
