Three or four times now our 2006 1.8 petrol manual zafira has just 'died' when we attempt to start it.
What happens is you turn it over and it fires up, then cuts out. Subsequent attempts to start it have no effect, there is no response on turning the key. The radio comes on, so it doesnt sound like a battery or connection issue.
The yellow car with spanner through light comes on. According to the book this may be an immobiliser issue, shich sounds likely, as if you leave it a minute or two it will start.
Has anyone heard of this problem. It has started since we began using only the spare key after my dear son bent the main key by slamming it in the house front door.
ANy more info required?
TIA Ed
