Hi gang

further to my earlier post re this issue, I’ve had a new central gateway fitted, which seemed to cure the problem but it hasn’t. The issue has returned. When you put the key in, sometimes the car recognises it and sometimes it doesn’t (no lights on dash). When it does recognise the keys and turn to position 2, the lights on the dash come on, but sometimes it won’t turn over. When this happens, the lights stay on for 5=seconds, then the dash goes blank and the seat goes back for the easy exit, as if I’ve taken the key out

I’ve replaced the main battery and the rear battery is putting out 12.9volts


Any ideas


Thx

OK, this is now cured. It was the EIS. I found a guy in East London who repaired mine for £200
