Hi Guys

I recently went on holiday for a while and when I came back and tried starting my car, I found that the battery was dead so managed to start it up using jump leads. The car drove ok but as I was parking it, it stalled and since then the car wont start/turn over at all. I've bought a new battery but still get the same problem. All the lights on the dashboard light us as normal but the engine will not start or even attempt to do so. I tried the spare key but same problem. The local mechanic had a quick look and tested the connection to the battery etc and couldnt find any problem. He did call an auto electrician who said that it sounds as though there is a problem with the immobiliser and that I would have to have it towed to the Honda dealer.

The only problem is that I know someone at work, who by coincidence has a very similar problem (this happened as he parked the car and when he went back, it wouldnt start). He had his car towed to the honda dealer who told him after checking it that they didnt know what was wrong and that they could fix it by replacing A, B or C etc, costing £100's. If anyone can help me saving money by having it towed to the dealer who will just make me spend more money then please let me know otherwise I will have to scrap a very nice car.

Thank you
