Welding gone wrong
Hi, don't know if this is right place to post but we had a transit van come in today for work on the rear shutter. One of the lads disconnected the battery and did the welding. When re connected the battery and tried the key it won't start at all. Anyone got any ideas? We tried a spare key incase it's coding lost but still nothing. Thanks

I'm not sure mate, I didn't do it, the lad who did it said he did what he does on everyone that comes in and it's never happened before. Apparently the AA guy was pretty certain it was the immobiliser, should find out today.
