Hi, Can anyone help me in the wilds of northern Scotland. I am having problems with this not starting or cutting out. It may be an immobiliser problem as there is plenty life in the battery etc and before cutting out i notice the radio/cd cuts off first. It was happening a few weeks ago and i switched off the alarm using the key and all was ok for a while, but the problem is back,and still intermittent. No decent auto electricians or garages up here who seem keen to take a look, can I isolate the immobilser further ? Please please please help !

Andy Cruikshank in the Carse industrial estate of Inverness is the best local independant. Where are you?

It could be a bad relay. On the E24/28 there was an unloader relay involved in power distribution. I've seen that cause problems. Not sure if the E34 has something similar.

Any other symptoms?
