Saudi TVR Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hello i Owen a TVR Tuscan S. I didn't start it for a year or so. I swapped the battery for a new one every thing is in a tidy condition, all the oils are checked the car used to work and drive before i parked it. The lights and ac and radio works but the car will not start , i took it for a Ferrari mechanic he told there is some thing with the security of the car ? he couldn't fix it ? Is there is a way to restart it or to fix the security of the car ??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 welcome to TSN - sorry to hear you've got car trouble, I'm no expert but from the symptoms and the mechanics comments he may be talking about a problem with the imobiliser system - which would normally need a main dealer to resolve Where are you based, do you have a local dealer/specialist?

Saudi TVR Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for the reply guys.... I am located in the hottest boring country in the world Saudi Arabia , I guess i am the only TVR over here and there is no dealer in the middle east and no cars like it . I tried some thing today and it kinda almost started ! I disconnected the security sistem and plug it back again the fuse number m36 it looks like a black small box . the car now cranks but does not start, it didn't even crank befor i did that ! the car only has 6000 km. it's kinda new ! I checded everything twice. I think it's i stupid thing that i didn't notice ? any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Could be worth putting a call into a UK Dealer and asking if they can give you a clue? Good news is they're creatures of habit and while they tend to go wrong, they're quite simple and so if you describe the symptoms they can probably give you a clue that you could take to your own mechanic?

You must have had some special aircon put on it? My TVR was too hot in the UK in summer! Anyhow, does it have an aftermarket imbolizer fitted? I think mine had to have a thatcham one just so i could get insured. A "firm slap to the underside of the passenger dash" might work.

Ozz Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 hi there i may be able to help you... do you have a black plastic key that came along with your car? its usually kept along side your car keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saudi TVR Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes there is a key like that ! is there , can you point me to the right way to start it ? after i have installed the new batterie and rested the security systems ?

Ozz Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 ok try this... in your car there should be a tiny red light the blinks when you lock the car .right next to the blinking red light there is a little hole where the plastic key fits. insert the plastic key there and a red light should turn on. you have now ten seconds to start the car. It should start now if you dont start it in ten seconds , do it again. if your remote works, you dont need to do that. just unlock your car and get in. insert your regular key and press the button on the key for a second and then try to start it within ten seconds of pressing the button on your key. I hope that works... If not... reply here and we'll try something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 cheers Ozz and welcome to TSN - is your solution something to do with the imobiliser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 something of that sort... not sure exactly as there is more to the immobiliser than that... but this usually does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
