try another key, what is the led on the door doing when you try and start it - have you got power and do you hear any clicking when trying to start it ??

doesnt sound like immobiliser then, it should flash with some sort of pattern to indicate an error (cant remember the pattern though). Any power/lights ? another key ?

[symmy]

evert thing else works fine tried the spare key and it all locks and unlocks ?

if it cut out for no reason and wouldnt start again its either

a loose battery wire , a starter motor fuse , the gearstick inhibator switch

or relay 30 .

if theres no clicking noises when you turn the key chances are its one of

the last 2 choices

ive tried that in the past i just refuses to start even when you've fixed

the problem of why it wouldnt start in the first place just to get its

own back on you

[symmy]

man with machine could not find fault so he rang a man and presto you were right it was a dry joint in relay 30.thank you all very much for all your help

happy again
