Default Cant get the cossie to start,

For some reason since yesterday afternoon i have been unable to start the cossie, it seems like an imobilser problem, but since buying the cossie its been mega realiable, and i have had no imobilser probs at all.

The strange thing is tho, i started the cossie yesterday afternoon to take it out, left it running for 10mins, but decided against it (as i have a noise that appeared after the clutch slipped driving home from beds meet mon night) so left the cossie on the drive and went out in the st24 for a few hours, came back and it hasnt started since, is it out of the question to think maybe someone tried or tampered with it? me confused , does anyone have any ideas to try at all?

Save up some pennies and get a new alarm fitted. I can get that old shit stripped out for Ł20.

A Clifford G5 will cost no more than Ł350. He also does Cobra and Viper alarms too. Have a look, see what you like and i'll call him for a price.
