Grant Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes there is a little chip built into the key that registers with a receiver in the ignition barrel .. Hopefully that's it mate ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Today I have towed the car into work today as it just wouldn't bloody start. The green key wasn't appearing on the dash this time but instead, the engine cranks over but won't run. That's with the jump pack connected too.. I don't know what the f**k is up with it. It's just a combination of faults I think... Think I'm going to have to sorn it, put it under the covers and tuck it away in the corner of the workshop. For now I don't have the time plus the weather is not all that great for working in the evenings. Thanks for the help lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Not good news. Would it not be worth a phone call to your local Honda dealer? They might have an idea of the problem. Some dealers may be strict and only help if the car is there and charge you labour but woth asking? Also, if your in the motor trade, they will give trade discount on labour...like i get from my local dealer. May be worth handing it into Honda and telling them to spend a couple of hours on it. That way they can fix it or tell you the problem. That is what i would do if all avenues are exhausted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks for your input @burbleboy but the problem is I cannot even afford 100 quid or more for Honda to look at it. But I think I have solved the immobilizer issue but see how it goes in the next few days. I have tapped the key to the otherside of the ring reveiver and I haven't seen the green light flash yet. So fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 So are you using the car again now dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 So are you using the car again now dude? Yeah I'm driving it daily but I just don't trust it in the cold mornings as it still has the same starting issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah I'm driving it daily but I just don't trust it in the cold mornings as it still has the same starting issueMight be worth parking it on a hill (If there is one), least you have half a chance of possibly bump starting it, unless the immobiliser says no!
