Clio 1.2 grande - Problem starting - fedupclioowner
Hi
I've had my Clio for 5 months never had any starting problems until recently. I changed the battery in the key fob it worked for a week then suddenly the engine turned over but kept cutting out as the immobiliser light kept flashing. I disconnected the battery and this semi-solved the problem.
I had to attempt 3 times before the car would start but then it drove perfectly. I had a friend clean the components inside the key fob but it didn't solve the problem and now it's really difficult to get it to start at all! If I go out I have to leave the car running (recently got stuck in a supermarket carpark!) I'm really hoping that it's not the immobiliser! Unfortunately I don't have a spare key fob. Any suggestions???? Help please!!!!
