Same thing last year - but only when cold.

Turn the key engine turns for about 1/2 second then check engine light flashes and the cars immobiliser (red light in the dash) comes on and basically shuts down any further attempts. take keys out, leave 10 mins everything has reset itself (all warning lights off) and you can try again.

If it's only slightly cold she'll start no problems this time - if it's colder (like last night) i was stuck in car for over an hour before it would start.Tried 5 or 6 time when everything had reset before it started.

Any ideas appreciated? Really quite annoying!

Think last year it was an immobiliser code that came up but not sure how to check

not really clued up on electrics but maybe a dry joint in something,when its cold the joint/solder breaks away,when it warms up re-joins ?

Make sure your batterys good when they go low they can trigger the alarm,when i used to park mine for the winter the alarm would go off if i didnt keep it charged

i would hazard a guess you have a eathing problem, But more than likely a dud battery. a year old or not its well worth having it checked or if you have a multi metre do it yourself
