Ok I know this site Is full of these non starter posts... But I thought I would add to it.
The other day I stripped and replaced all my aftermarket toys and put the car back to standard (rear lights, radio,sub) and then I went to start my car. I put the ignition on and the Eco mode was activated, I thought nothing too major I've had it before and it's started fine. So I attempted to start it and it just kept turning over and over, it didn't even attempt to fire up. So we called the AA out to try and help us. Unfortunately he couldn't help after checking all the fuses, so he sent it to a garage to get fixed (luckily he is covering the costs =]) all this was on Saturday. I phoned up today thinking surely they have fixed it by now, but no I was wrong. Apparently the immobiliser relay has gone on it and it not where it should be in my 1.6 2005 quicksilver model engine. So now he has kept it another day because he isn't sure on how to fix it.
Has anybody else had this happen to them and be able to help me so I can get my car back quicker haha
Thanks guys

They are all the fuses, but a blown radio one for example stops the car from starting as the BSI can't function fully.

Most people over look the simple things, and are often the root of 90% of the problems.
