   Hey, i need this problem fixed as I'm doing a 400 mile round trip on wednesday.
   
   Basically i pulled up in tescos car park, went and got some food for mi tea.
   
   Came back out and the car wouldnt start..
   
   Tried that about 4 or 5 times and noticed a flashing light on the dash.
   
   It was a box with a key on it flashing.
   
   Went back 15 minutes later and started no problemm??

   its prob just a mismatch in the immobiliser between the key and the ecu, prob just a one off, mine does it about once a month, normally if i dont turn key all the way off and then back on again, i wouldnt worry too much but if it happens again before weds i'd get it checked out
