Haha, thanks for the info, yes i think the starter is working the engine just wont start!

Its just a normal noise that it makes before the engine starts (haha, you can tell im a woman!). Don't know how to explain it! hope you know what i mean!

Thanks for the reply, did you have the immobiliser problem aswell? If you could let me know how you get on that would be great. Thanks again.

Hi and welcome to the forum So are you saying the starter is turning the engine over but it's not firing or just nothing happens (no starter noise) I take it this is a 2.3 petrol model Thanks for the reply. Yes the engine is not starting but there is a noise when you turn the ignition then theres just no noise & it wont start.

Never posted on here before-hope i am doing it right! I've had a problem with my ford galaxy for several months, the immobiliser light inside the door was flashing a red light & the car wouldn't start, i had to keep trying it until the light was constant red for the car to start. It has just got worse as the months went on & it kept happening a lot more, usually when i had stopped for petrol! The car was taken last week to a key programming place, they have put a new transponder on which seems to have fixed the immobiliser problem as the central locking is working again & the red light inside the door is constant red but the car just wont start. When you turn the ignition on you can hear it power up but then theres no noise & it wont start. All the electrics are working, radio, lights, windows etc. Can anybody help as i have asked several auto electricians & they have said the only thing i could do would be to take it to ford which i cant afford to do at the moment. When i took it to the key programming place they said it kept coming up with a PATS MODULE FAULT. The galaxy is 2001, automatic. Hope somebody out there can help! Thanks.
