    Default Car won't Start!

    Hey all, Just been out to vectra and tried to start it and it won't activate the starter motor. Everything else works on the car you can hear the fuel pump going but it won't turn over. Also noticed that the fuel guage wasn't registering any quantity. It eventually sprung into life but first of all the spanner light came on flashing. It now goes out everytime you start it and the fuel guage is reading correctly now. Tried to read any codes but I only have a hand held reader thats not that great. Any one else had this problem? The car is a 54 plate CDTi 150. I was thinking immobiliser problems?

    Possible immobiliser or CIM issue...
    It is quite common, especially in these recent extremely cold conditions for little "electronic glitches" to occur..

    possibly a little stray condensation in the car electronics...

    I wouldn't woory too much just yet.

    If in doubt, disconnect your battery over-night, and force the whole car to do a full system reset... this tends to clear 90% of random faults
