URGENT! Immobiliser Problem

Hi

Have borrowed a friends WRX sports wagon and have been driving it happily for 1.5hrs or so, just pulled up to look at the map and now I can't start it again. I think it's a problem with the immobiliser partly because the red light flashes when I try and start the car and also the car has been having general electrical problems lately. Basically the top key fob button works, ie opens the doors, I can turn the key so that I get all the dashboard lights but then turning again gets nothing.

There are two other buttons on the key fob and they don't seem to do anything, not sure if I need a combination of these??

Electric problems with the car have been with the central locking, when you use it from the key fob the car unlocks itself again 30 seconds later or so. You can lock it if you use the key.

I've tried checking all the fuses are in securely, currently in an internet cafe, any help very much appreciated.

PS, my friend is currently flying to Europe (I'm in Australia)....

Read the guys post ya numbskull, he is an internet cafe.

Suggestions to original poster:

I would suggest looking in the handbook for details of rematching keyfob to system as you would do when chnaging the fob battery.

Or disconnect the car battery for a few minutes allowing any crashed smarts to be rebooted on powerup.

Um, did you have the clutch pedal fully depressed all the way to the floor?
