hi there,

My car will not start as the key will not work for the central locking therefore the immobiliser will not turn off. I have had the key checked and it is fine, I'm at a loss as to what to do.Im a woman on my own with 3 kids therefore do not have the money to get a tow truck to take me to a garage. My car is an N reg renault espace elise.
Many thanks Penny

After three months of searching I finally came across an auto electrician who said it was no problem to dissable a renault imobiliser!!!!! You have to have a 'drongo' fitted which overrides it, costs about £140 then labour on top but its a far cry from the two grand reg vardy were gonna charge me. He's based in Tyne & Wear so just email me if you want the address. alex_d64@hotmail.com

sorry to hear that.. if the key is ok then the fault lies with the central locking control module, but this can ONLY be sorted by renault themselves, because they are the ONLY people with all the release codes to re-set or replace any alarm/immobilizer and door components with regards to the central locking.
but before giong to renault, check the fuses and the connections on the rear of the fusebox!!
