maxxo Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 firstly i need to work out why it won't start normally potentially an aftermarket immobiliser that's failed? it would make sense i know it needs quite a few new parts fitting relays etc which should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst moments of my driving life was being hundreds of miles from home with the ex and a baby Eva with the XM and it suddenly going stone cold dead when we went to leave where we were... Turn the key, nothing! A frantic 10/15 minutes happened and then I realised it wasn't fully in P (dash indicator bulb didn't work on mine, caught it in the sun and it didn't say P) Shove on the shifter, a small clunk and voila, fired right up 😂 mk2_craig, chaseracer, mitsisigma01 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Oh, wow. Now that's something. Do the S1 cars have the daft little tippy-tappy keypad to enter the immobiliser code? The one on my S2 estate was, erm, temperamental at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL) and moved the gear lever all the way to the bottom which I knew would be 1st, et viola it worked and I could finally get myself to the toilet at the FoD LOL (it still amuses me that the one gearbox I had trouble working/operating, was a bloody automatic LOL) all good fun tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
