Had my car at Dalco's today having my Bluetooth Handsfree kit fitted.
Anyway once he got it fitted, he drove it out of the workshop where the engine proceeded to die
He tried starting it again and it turned over but would not start, almost like it was an immobiliser fault. So I drove down with the spare set of keys and Steve got ready to disconnect the handsfree kit to make sure it wasn't anything he had done.
On my way I was thinking about the problem and came to the conclusion it was nothing to do with the immobiliser as the car had started.
Anyway I suddenly remembered that the Fuel cut-off reset switch is behind the dash near the drivers door. So we opened up the panel found the switch and found it had operated. So we reset it and the engine started 1st time:twisted:
We put the panel back, but found if you knocked it hard enough the fuel switch would operate and would need resetting.
So I'm going to keep an eye on it, and have a word with my dealer as I think its a little too sensitive.
Just something to think about if you find yourself in a similar position.
