[928uk] Intermittent Immobiliser Issue

I haven't used him for a few years now, but Ray Northway was always a good 
bet; he knows the 928 very well and provides a good honest service.

Best regards,
Don.

Gentlemen,

If was good to meet up in Tilford on Saturday… I got back to Reading late 
afternoon; this Monday morning my car would not start.   The lights were 
bright, nothing looked dimm or sluggish on a weak battery.  The voltmeter 
read 12 volts.  But the engine wouldn’t even turn over despite a brightly 
lit dashboard.  So this evening and with Vince’s help on the phone, I 
checked a few things and then decided to try Pin 14 - it started 
straightaway!

Since the voltmeter reads 14 volts when the engine was running and all 
seemed to be fine once the engine started, I expect that I have an 
intermittent problem with my immobiliser.

I am going to speak with Chris Sanderson tomorrow to get some advice, but he 
is a long way up north if I need to get the car to a specialist.  I don’t 
want to have to use the Pin 14 trick to get it fired up every time, so I 
would like to know if:

1) anyone else has had this problem,
2) it makes sense to have the immobiliser repaired - or replaced?
3) anyone has a recommended electrician or specialist in the Reading area

Any and all advice gratefully received.  Thank you.
