Hello all.
I've recently been lucky enough to grab my dream car- a 91 Coupe.
I drove it hundreds of miles home, but, I've left it waiting 2 months for tax & insurance- occasionally running it around the block and it was perfect starting etc.
I now go to start it, and a loud, harsh & speedy clicking noise (relay?) comes from the area of the gearbox during turning, but no indication of a start.
My problem is that there are 3 immobiliser settings (the red light either on, off or flashing)- I'm not sure what each display means.
It only seemed to start when fully on last time (but which locks the doors aswell).
So I pressed the fob buttons again and on turning this time, a hissing started from the rear drivers side which lasted a few minutes even without the key inserted.
I tried again and the car decided to lock me in for a while which was a bit scary - it was baking hot and I was on my own without a phone.
The handles didn't override the locks until I forced the passenger door for a third time.
What on earth is going on?
Is it the battrey is going flat and so it's going haywire perhaps?
I fear next time I try it I'll get locked in a dead car!
Any ideas peeps??
