I have checked the battery and that is all ok (only 3 months old anyway) checked all fuses, they are all ok, not sure where to look next.

Also have you tried disconnecting the battery and leaving it for a minute or two before re-connecting to reset things?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys Went to move my 98 Carrera 2 this morning, put the key in, everything lights up, but when I turn the key.... nothing! I have checked the battery and that is all ok (only 3 months old anyway) checked all fuses, they are all ok, not sure where to look next. I think it is something to do with the immobiliser but not sure how to clear it. Tried locking/unlocking the car many times but to no avail. Any suggestions?

POST 2Original post

Any chance the starter motor could be dead or the cable to it corroded. Also have you tried disconnecting the battery and leaving it for a minute or two before re-connecting to reset things?

POST 3Original post

:yeah: Also earth strap on the engine. That's an eay one, just put a jump lead from the engine to a metal part on the chassis (or earth on battery if it'll reach).

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Infrasilver, you are a star. Did not think to totally disconnect the battery. Left it 5 minutes, reconnected and off she went, no radio codes lost etc, so very happy. I will drink a glass of wine to you with my sunday dinner later, cheers buddy :worship: :worship: :worship:

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Alex, appreciated you trying to help also :worship: :worship:
