Hi There
I have a 406 hdi 51 plate the car was fine untill xmas eve ladened with all the xmas shopping ,4 times the usual it was dark and snowing all i wanted was to get home and have a cuppa
well, no such luck turned the key and it wouldnt start because the display read IGNITION IMMOBILSER FAULT i had to get a taxi home so transferred all the shopping and left my hubby in the midddle of nowhere to sort it
after 3 hours waiting he finaly showed up and said a security gaurd had said to him he had the same trouble with his at sometime but if he waited it would resett itself
so he duly waited in that freezing car and apparently it did after 3 hours
ALL WAS WELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS RAN NORMALY AFTER START untill BANG WOULD YOU BELEIVE IT the next morning only to find outside the house with another display ECONOMY MODE ACTIVE
a neighbour of ours said he would take a look at it as he has one of those TESTERS
but first he said he would try the SHUNT FUSE this he did but a NO GO
He tried his Tester
IT READ OPEN CIRCUIT
SHORT CIRCUIT TO EARTH
MAF SENSOR
so he replaced the MAF SENSOR and tried it
still NO GO
after that he said he would reset the BSI
USUAL FORMATT BATT/ WINDOW/ SIDE LIGHTS ETC
but still NO GO
he dosent think its the EGR VALVE OR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OR THE ANY OF THE EARTHS
now being a woman all the charm in the world isnt going to get me a FREEBIE from a PEUGEOT SPARKY
and im loathe to pay through the nose at the DEALERSHIP
so im at a loss and at your mercy of your much valued expertise
PLEASE BE GENTLE
I AWAIT YOUR RESPONCE WITH BATED BREATH
AND A MUG OF COCOA
