just gone to start the car and when i turn the key the ignition comes on and then it makes a click and doesnt even attempt to turn over.. theres a light flashing on the dash looks like a square with a key going into it.. any ideas what this could be?

[foxon]

i think that's the key code aint it, when i had a punto that light meant key code and the immobiliser was stopping it from starting. someone correct me if it is different for a saxo.

iv just been out and tried it again and with the clutch down its started :s

Clutch will make no difference to it - the transponder around the ignition barrel is starting to fail. This problem will only get worse I am afraid. Sating that though my car did it about 6 months ago (it actually started as well with the light flashing!) and has been fine since. Fingers crossed mate
