I have an 01 renault clio. It started to take more and more turns of the key to start the car until on day it died. the AA was called out and diagnosed that the immobliser was active and needed re-programming. I have tried using codes with the central locking however the flashing does not slow. I am a student and cant afford the call out fees. Any help would be great, thanks.

hi back again, i was told by a renault mechanic to disconnect the battery for more than 30 min,but i left mine over night it is supposed to reset the immobiliser. it worked for me. {remember your radio code} but you will still have to sort your crankshaft senor out as i think this was the start of your problem
