   Hey y'all, went to start my car this afternoon after work, and it struggled to start, and when it did, it had the flashing key symbol on the dashboard??
   
   Any idea's what this is for as i dont own the Citroen Book thing.
   
   Thanks

   the signal receiver breaks on its own.
   mine did.
   
   dealer keep them on the shelf! about £16 quid iirc... or you can do what i did and take it appart and solder it back together if you can find where its broken.

   meh, i wouldnt go worrying about it personally, but if you are abit weary over it, you could always unlock the ecu and remove the immobiliser...

   unlock the ECU and it will disable the immob, so the light wont come on.

    best way is to start the car then unplug it (the immobiliser), yes you loose the immobiliser function but you'll never have to worry about the car bumming itself
