One final update to this saga. I heard from the garage who mentioned that my year of car had two different types of EMU in two different locations. They had to strip down the dash to check which one was installed, they ordered the part overnight and fixed the car this morning. So good news, I...

So the results from the garage are in. The diagnostics machine couldn't see the EMU. Without communication between the diagnostics machine and EMU, nothing much is getting fixed. So after a quick price check, the garage has confirmed that this part will need replacing, they agreed to do the...

A little more feedback. When I first spoke to the Nissan garage I was informed that the analysis would need to take around 1-2 hours at a cost of £82+vat per hour. When we ran out of options and I called the service desk, they said, sure we can analyse the problem, we have a fixed fee of...

Thanks Shaun, I will keep this thread updated no matter what the outcome, hopefully if someone else should be unlucky to have the same issue, they may benefit from this post. Regarding the garage that I went to, its a small village garage and they have always been honest and fair. Kind of why I...

Well a little feedback to keep this topic updated. I spoke to the Garage today and no they dont have the code readers etc, so I called the auto electrician who explained that the ODB2 code readers dont read immobilizer / non starting problems. Secondly, I contacted a company on ebay who was...

Thanks Frank. I did a little research on the 'bay' and sent a couple of questions. Found a reader > USB job, I just need to understand that the software explains what code errors are found, otherwise I will be none the wiser. More tomorrow.

thanks for your feedback. My car is a 2001 51 plate. The garage is a MOT place specifically and I guess when the obvious mechanical stuff cannot show up the fault, then its main dealer time. Being out in the countryside gives me few options. Lesson learnt I guess. Hopefully I can post more...

I will ask the garage tomorrow if the auto-sparky got any codes, but I am doubtful. Like you say, I would have thought that a auto electrical specialst would have the ability to read codes, if nothing else, then google the codes etc. I will post any further feedback tomorrow once I know more...

Hi Frank, thx for the quick reply. There was no mention of him reading fault codes, so I am presumming no. Another reason why they are suggesting taking the car to the Nissan dealer so that they can get the codes etc. Either way, its frustrating, maybe had I taken the car to Nissan first, I...

Moderator. Sorry, I posted in haste to the K10, should have been K11. Please move. Thanks, Colin.

Hi all, after trawling the web and garage bills are escalating, I turn to you all for some guidance. I tried to start the car one morning and the car turned over once then died. Later that day I called the AA out after doing various tests concluded that either there was a fuel pump problem or...
