Car troubles...Again

[liamboyle06]

Hello again
I have a Clio '97 with remote central locking that also doubles as the immobiliser. However recently when I pushed the key fob button, the car would not open thus engine would not start. during this period i have had to fiddle with the Sensor in the Car to get it to Remote open/un-immobilise.


This mornign however, teh thing would not work at all, would not remote open, thus preventing me from driving it as everytime i try to start, the engine cuts out.

What I am wondering is there any way I can disable the immobiliser, as I can open and close the car using the keys, but it will not start.
I am intending on getting a newer car in the next couple of months so do not want a lot of expense in fitting a new immobiliser/locking mechanism.

Thank for all the help.

I really don't think someone will post how to disable an immobiliser on an open forum...

Wouldn't make you very popular with other '97 era Clio owners....

You did not mention is you had changed the battery in the fob?

Sounds to me like the battery may be dead in your keyfob.

I have already had the Battery Changed by the Renault Dealer here for £12 - could not believe it , but it is a new Battery and the light on the Keyfob comes on when I press the button.

there is a key twist combo you can do to turn it off you need to call a dealer they will fix it up for you .

to disable the immobiliser use the 4 digit code found on the security card as shown in ur owner hand book.
