Thanks to everyone who have replied to my problem. Sadly no luck so far. Does anyone else have any idea how I can overcome this.

Hi ambermarine, thanks, I will give this a try this afternoon and get back to you.

Hi, many thanks for your reply. Leaving the ignition on for 10 minutes. Then turning it off, then trying to start, but the light still won't go out. Then when that didn't work, reduced to swearing at it.

Hi, Paint is very costly these days. It would seem there is a degree of repair needed as well as painting. The price seems about right for a garage, why not try and find someone private, it might cost you a bit less. Regards. Nivram.

Hi, can anyone throw some light on why the immobiliser on my 1999 LS400 is preventing me from starting the engine. I've tried all the usual methods, but it still wont go out. I bought the car after it had stood for a few weeks, but I doubt that has caused this problem? or maybe it has. Any help would be most welcome, Regards, Nivram

Hi there, you are lucky. I live in Haverhill near Cambridge, and it's 70p here!!!!!! It's about time we had the same prices as everyone else in Europe. Good luck. Nivram.

Hi there, sealed for life is so very wrong. Anything with moving parts will produce swarf of some kind, plus the oil WILL break down over time. Ten years is WAY too long. The filter will become blocked to some degree, which can lead to poor delivery to the moving parts, and we all know what happens to parts starved of oil. 60.000 miles is about the max before a service. Would you leave your engine oil for ten years before changing it, no. I can recommend a very good auto trans garage. It might be a little way from you, but it will be worth the trip, I have used them for years. Here is their address. Suffolk automatic transmissions LTD. 01440 786555 07850 050122. They are very close to Haverhill. Why not give them a ring, ask for Paul, he's the boss, tell him Gary from Haverhill told you about them.
