Immobilizer confusion.

[SB118]

Right, my mother has blagged the wifes 406 (instead of us laying it up for a few months until she's passed her test), and she's having trouble with the immobilizer.

It's this type ..

but i don't actually put a number in. When i've driven the car, i push the remote to open the doors, get in, start the engine and drive off. Seems easy enough to me.

Got a call this morning, she can't start the car, the red light won't go out, sometimes it flashes, the panel makes a buzzing noise when she turns the key, etc, etc.

I went out and checked the car this avo, got in, turned the key and it started first time

I suppose if i knew the code it might shut her up, but i don't have a clue. Any ideas what she is doing wrong? I couldn't get it to recreate the problem when i tried.

... now you will never need to enter the code again !

Way ahead of you, i don't even know the code to enter it

Another call from mother

"Just to let you know, the sunroof leaks on that car", "i know, it's only a drip", "it's more than a drip, i had water running out of the controls for the sunroof earlier" (wtf? )

I drive out to check the car, she's been playing with the electric sunroof and not closed the begger properly! The back edge of the roof was dipped down as if it was going to slide back inside the roof! ARGH! We've had heavy rain the last few days and it has been urinating in through the part open roof, ARGH!!!!

I'm so glad my mother is borrowing the car for a few months. Honest.
