Maybe the mog battery has dropped enough to effect its range? That's what happened with my car just before I changed the battery as a preventative measure. That cleared it totally so I surmised it must have been the at rest terminal volts being a smidgen low for it to operate . I never put an optimate on any car as I know how well they fry batteries, I do always throw the Red switch and isolate the electrics and that way I can leave the car for up to 2 months without starting if I am away without the need to charge.

I successfully managed to dis-arm the immobiliser today with the intention of taking it to BHM (as it's still under warranty), BUT the car wouldn't start. The battery is fully charged and the starter motor is turning over. Very strange as it started OK yesterday once I had dis-armed the immobiliser.

Are these just newer/ish cars having issues? Bad job lot or different source for imob sensor or transducers?

There have been odd occasions of GDIs getting wet plugs after a short idle.
Try it again and if it wont fire you might have to dry the plugs.
Keith might have a dodge....like disconnecting a wire to fool it into making a hot start........

Yeah, never used it though. When my first car.......105E Anglia wouldn't start in winter, I parked it on the pub car park over the road and pushed it down the hill every morning and jumped in.....

I can remember doing the same with my Dad's 105E - pushing it up and down the drive to bump-start it! It never started first time on the key, always at the third time of asking, but always started when bumped! Thanks for the tip on the wet plugs. I've had them all out and cleaned but still no success. Also spoke to Keith - no way of fooling the car into submission. Believe it or not the immobiliser is now dis-arming with the key in the lock, but just won't start. Having it trailered to BHM on Thursday.
