3VOM

My signum is now deciding not to start. I get a number of lights on the dashboard but not the immobiliser one. Key just not making starter do anything. Start checked, it works fine. Is this an Immobiliser / Module CIM? problem that's a pain to fix?

Bump to remind people the next Northern Powerhouse Classic should be Tues 4th June.

Can't open without a key you say?

I think you are correct but do check. IIRC the gearboxes are very fussy about which ATF they use.

Surely the position is that the other country accepts the MOT or whatever as a valid equivalent of their test (TUV whatever) but can apply their own rules to specific situations. Therefore the question of roadworthiness would be down to the country in which the car is travelling.

How the fuck did they get that on a ferry or through the tunnel? I said this years ago on BarryBoys - until one of these idiots takes out a bus queue of nuns, orphans and kittens no one will do anything. It is easily proven to be illegal as won't comply with the manufacturers recommended wheel and tyre combinations, so, unless Barry could turn up in court with a recognisable expert saying it is safe, he would lose a prosecution based solely on the wheels and tyres. But we don't have the police numbers to bother with such trivia. What I suspect happened with the German cops is that they subject the car to TUV type tests to establish if it is roadworthy.

Isn't the way round the heat build up to use soda or glass beads or walnut shells, i.e. something less aggressive.

There used to be a similar light from a DAF truck IIRC. Don't know if they are still available but they were a close match for the Talbot ones.

Apologies for not getting there, I got diverted into doing something else.
