hi, first post so bear with me I have read several posts on the forums but none seem to address exactly what I see and hear ? I have a 2.3 2000 Galaxy and have recently developed a problem starting Turn the key and there is a clicking in the ignition switch followed by a beep usually 2-3 times Also the immobiliser light on the door goes crazy and stays flashing fo a couple of minutes before going out Probably 8 in 10 the car starts normally but 2 in 10 it doesnt and needs 4 or 5 goes to eventually get it goin I have already forked out 200 GBP for a new starter Help please Thanks Keith
