I ain't technically capable of all this, but I can wiggle a fuse. I'll get my friend to have another look and show him this thread. Thanks for the help.
-
My friend suggested the starter motor. I'll go now and have a quick look at the fuses. Cheers
-
So that leaves the ignition switch, so that should be the first port of call do you think?

Is there any way to reset the immobiliser that won't cost me a fortune as I'm broke at the moment

Just tried the spare key, but it didn't work, good shout still. I've just spent the last 5 minutes trying to get it started and one thing I noticed was that I couldn't hear the usual fuel pump noise when turning the key, then after 20 or so attempts I heard the fuel and it started.
-
Good shout. Car's a manual.

I haven't got a clue about recoding the vehicle, wasn't aware this type of thing was even required when changing a battery. But then the last time I properly worked on a car myself, was our old 1980 Mini Clubman Estate. Where would I start or is it something that needs to be done by a technician? Previous battery was also AGM. The dash lights and headlights don't dim when I try to start the car.

Hi xman. My friend checked the battery and it's fully charged, the car has stop start but the first thing I did when this problem started was switch it off.
-
I'm now having the same problem as Chris, exactly as he described it.
-
That's a good call, one of my friends suggested the same, so I'll start there. Car's done 160k so I might need to start a check list.

Hi all. Got a problem with my 13 plate 1.6 greenline. Ignition comes on but it won't crank first time, but if I try it a couple of times, then leave it for 10 minutes or so, it starts but I have to keep the key turned in the ignition for 5/10 seconds before it cranks, feels a bit like it's thinking about whether it wants to start or not. Once started the problem disappears, but then returns again when the cars not used for a day or two. Fitted a new Bosch S5A08 - 70A/H - 760A - Agm 12 months ago and it's fully charged and working fine. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Update: Still no errors. My car is a 13 plate.
-
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on that. I've driven the car for approximately 6/7 hours with the lights on, so far so good.
-
No worries mate. Drove the car for an hour or so yesterday night with no problems. But as you say, time will tell.

Just fitted these this afternoon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004V3BF9M/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1517433310&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=UltraVision&dpPl=1&dpID=41V3ShLdUvL&ref=plSrch So far so good, no errors and nice and bright.
