	FFS. read that he hasn't tried to bump start it. Where did you put jump leads? Boot or engine? [Edited on 31-03-2014 by daymoon]

Only thing that ever lasted long enough was getting it on the computer and resetting. i even changed my fuel filter

	Did the lights dim when you tried to start it? Any clicking noise? Even if immobiliser has kicked in it would turn over. The fact that it doesn't - suggests that starter motor is kaput or is not getting power. [Edited on 29-03-2014 by daymoon] [Edited on 29-03-2014 by daymoon]

I can also plug it into a computer whilst down there but no warning signs have shown up -.-. just very lucky to have some good friends who managed to recover me from work drop the car off and get me home. Has been a very stressful day Mine was the sensors (Crank) i think, We changed a few - it was about 3 years ago now - no signs shown up on mine - just cut out when it wanted and wouldn't start again - its a very common fault in the E46 shape. After that it ran perfectly fine…

	If it was crank sensor I think it would still turn over, just not fire. Immobiliser seems likely.

	Souns like crank sensor or immobiliser

All the lights come on pumps kick in etc etc but as soon as i turn the key to fire the starter there is just nothing. Not been able to jump start it or bump it ( pushing and towing ) i've reprogrammed the key. Took the battery off and on and basicly everything else you can think of. Now i wasn't able to run a wire directly to the starter to see if it would kick it in but that would be the next step i think. Still has anyone heard of this problem before? is it something common that i have not heard about. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I had a problem like this with my older BMW this was a E46 318I though - mine would start sometimes not all and when I was driving would sometimes just cut out and then not start again - I have a friend who's a BMW specialist and mine ended up just being sensors. Id get it the computer if you know anyone near you…. I got rid not long after I had a constant oil leak that I kept mending - then my header tank and radiator went… Pain in the butt

	If it doesn't bump, its not the starter.

	starter motor would be my call, that said just had to do one on the astra for similar reasons if it was immobilised it would show a light on the dash? and normally it would crank
