xantiasufferer

Hi, Thanks for the advice Colin - you seem to be the man in the know! Just to add some more details - it started today, but the electrics were all over the shop! Radio kept coming on and off - the instrument cluster would stop working, then when i used the indicators the instrument needles would flicker up and down a few times then start working, only to go off again a little further down the road! I am starting to believe this is some kind of central wiring problem rather than the immobiliser!!

I have a 99 Turbo Diesel which, while mechanically A1 is suffering a lot of electrical/wiring problems. A citroen garage wanted £1600 to re - wire the entire car, which is twice te value of the car!!! Is it possible to by - pass the immobiliser so i can at least start the car? The headlights, radio and all other electrics ae working, but the alarm, central locking and immobiliser are not - the car turns over but will not start! I love my xantia to bits, but cant justify sending huge money on it, and would hate to be forcedto scrap a mechanically fantastic vehicle because of a few bad wires!!!
