Non starter AGAIN

Postby Tcz6191 » Mon Jun 09, 2025 7:25 pm

Hi all, I put a fef posts on last year regarding my mk6 transit motor home which after passing the mot would not start at the mot station, it had the imobaliser light flashing for a couple of weeks while I was trying to get it going, after changing the fuel filter and starter motor which the mot station burned out I managed to get it to start. And it's been OK for 11 months.
But yesterday after filling with diesel it again won't start again I now think it's been an immobiliser issue all along, I'm looking for recommendations for someone to deal with an imobaliser issue in or around West Sussex. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Graham.

What fault codes are you getting..?? Is the glow plug light flashing..?? Is the immobiliser light flashing fast..??

Thanks for the reply, that glow plug light is not flashing and the imobaliser light is flashing slowly until I turn on the ignition and then it flashes fairly fast..

If the immobiliser light is flashing fast when the ignition is on, it has probably lost communication with the chip in the key, or maybe the pick-up sensor/ring around the ignition barrel, or its wiring may be playing up.
