Hi,
Along the same lines as this, my 16v gave me a burst of smoke from the dash the other day as i pulled up. Now when going to start it the starter motor just stays on all the time even when the ignition is just on. The alarm (a toad one) has stopped beeping now when turned on or off.
I'm thinking the immobiliser has fried itself (from reading these posts) but any other info would be appreciated!
Dont suppose anyone in the plymouth area has a spare starter motor theyd like to flog me cheaply!! :-)
