My sons car just gave up, I think its the usual fuel pump problem 140 K on the clock. But before I start to strip it some of you guys must have come accross this. No prior symtoms, but now the managament lamp flashes with the ignitipon on, it spins over but no smoke. Have any of you come accross this and its not been the pump, crank sensor maybe. I will recover it on Monday and get the thing read first, just after some thoughts.

The light flashing with ignition on is usually a bad sign. If it runs on easy start it may well be the pump. They normally die with no prior warning.

Yes thats what I thought, the car is on an x plate, it hardly seems worth the effort. I will have to put out some feelers next week.

I have now been told that its has imobaliaed itself, and it now appears that he dropped the keys off the balcony just prior to the issue. So I told him to go and check to see if the transponder was there where the keys fell. He has just rang to say it was and it now starts.

He hasn't lost the chip out of the key has he - em light flashing could be an immobiliser issue.

Ended up super gluing the chip back into the key body
