Hello,
I fitted some new rear shock absorbers to the 306 - I drove it off the car ramps and into the garage.
Turned off the engine. Went to start it a less than a minute later (car shuffling) and it won't start!
Ignition lights come on, but it won't turn over.
Makes all the usual noises when turning on ignition. (can hear pump pressurise the fuel system then stop - like normal)
Go to start and nothing (ignition lights go off - pretty sure that's normal too).
The checks so far:
Battery voltage good - and no huge voltage drop under load ( maybe 0.5v) when I go to start it.
Cleaned battery terminals
Battery newish - 'green' charge indicator
Used other car to jump start in case battery was the issue - same symptoms
No blown fuses that I can find.
So, I'm wondering if it's an immobiliser issue? Lost it's marbles while I did the rear shocks. Does the immobiliser kill the ignition (i.e the engine turns over) or stop the car turning over?
Only have one key if that makes a difference. Left keys in ignition but in off position. Only mention this in case some weird stuff happens if you do it!
Any other suggestions??
Cheers,
Chris
