PLEASE HELP
I recently purchased a R27 clio and on day one I managed to break the manifold flexis.
So, I took it to my local garage who fitted a brand new OEM manifold, new rear caliper and headlight bulbs. When I picked the car up it was running fine. The following day I had 4 x Michelin Pilot Sport 4's fitted to the car as I wanted to do a trackday at Donnington today again the car was fine on the journey home yesterday (3 miles)
When I woke up to start the car this morning (to my horror) it would not start. The starter motor was turning the engine over but no luck she would not fire up. The battery seems pretty new and was running 13v. I tried to start the car about 20 times before the battery went flat. (The car has never struggled to start before)
We also tried to bump start it a couple of times and still no joy.
After reading several forums, it seems the advice was to remove and clean the TDC sensor. Again we did this and tried to fire up again but no joy.
I am now starting to think it could be the fuel pump. Should I be able to hear this clearly when i switch on the ignition with the start button pressed once? (i have the stupid keyless system)
I also get a message on the display saying steering wheel not locked.
The immobiliser red light flashes. However when I try and start the car it goes solid red?
Could it be an immobiliser issue? Can we disable this?
Any suggestions would be amazing. I really want to love this car but it's killing me right now. :-(
Thank you
