Hi,
I recently bought an '09 plate Captiva diesel LTX. All seems OK at the moment, apart from having a problem starting it on 2 occasions. After waiting for the glow plug light to go out, the immobiliser warning light flashes and I'm unable to start the car. The 2 times it has done it so far I have waited a few minutes and tried again, and it has started.
I have changed the batteries in both keys, and I can't see any fuses that look obviously knackered, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or had experienced the same issue? Perhaps it could be the car battery? I guess there could be a problem with the immobiliser itself, but presumably that is just an electronic box of tricks that shouldn't go wrong that often?
Thanks,
Rich
