Hi
Thought I'd join her and post to help other people who have come across a similar problem.
This morning I drove to the petrol, filled up and the car would not start.
Turning the key, electrics seemed to be working, however the starter motor was not turning off/kicking in.
I did the pedal test, hold down accelerator and brake, turn ignition key 2 notches (3rd is actually starting the car), watch the flashing engine warning light, counting the number of flashes.
I saw the combination of 1614 flashes
I sat there Googling, could ECN, CIM
Check key fob battery
Locking, unlocking
In the end I called the RAC, who ran some tests with Machine and laptop
Battery Test
Drain Test
Starter Test
Alternator Test
The result was the battery needs replacing..
He got be started with a jumper kit, bought new battery for £45 and it's working fine (for now)
