    Hi there all

    I am hoping for some sensible advice.

    I have an early 1996 Vectra on a N plate. It has been fine since we bought
    it in May, but tonight it has developed a rather fatal problem.

    I went for a short trip no problems. When I jump back in the car 5 minutes
    later, it won't start, and the orange engine management light is flashing.
    It turns over - there is bags of power in the battery, and in the end I had
    to be towed home. The car won't even bump start being towed.

    Any ideas anyone??

    Problem Solved!!

    It was the key - I think the light flashing is the immobiliser light. I
    used the wifes key, and it's all sorted.
