Default Hawkeye wont start

Just spent all day cleaning the car and when i went to start it up, there was nothing.

I now have a red flashing key on the dash and the immobiliser light is flashing faster than usual. The engine want to turn but there is nothing. there is then a 'chirp' from the alarm.

have i run the battery flat ? or is it a problem with the key / immobiliser ?

Can anyone tell me whats happened or how i get the car started ?

Help!

Had that with mine - sounds like flat battery to me. Get a fresh one. I messed on with mine for ages and ever since a new battery its never missed a beat.

Mines isn't a daily driver so the tracker hammers its battery..

Your were very right!

thought the immobiliser had kicked in for some reason but got a mate round with some jump leads and it started straight away.

Silly me!!
