Vauxhall Vectra R reg

[debs (archive)]

I have a vauxhall vectra R reg. I have had it serviced recently, new gearbox, new radiator. Now the imobilser light stays on all the time and the engine runs rough.

Is there anything I can do? I believe it could be an electrical fault.

Are you sure it is the immobiliser light and not the engine management light? The car normally will not start if it is the immobiliser light.

You had far more than a service so I would take it straight back to where it was done and ask them to investigate. It is probably unrelated but it might be something they did. if it isn't they are likely to be considerate on the price bearing in mind how much they have already taken off you.

Thank you for this, yes I think you are right it is the EML. will driving it damage anything?

It is unlikely to do any damage but it is telling you that there is a problem.

I would get it looked at, preferably by the people who did all the work for you.
