Real-World Scenario
Immobiliser fault preventing engine start? The engine cranks but won't fire — a common symptom of an immobiliser glitch. This can be caused by a weak key fob battery, a faulty transponder, or a software issue. Our diagnostic equipment can identify the cause at your door.
What NOT to Do
Don't pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.
