If the immobiliser light on the dash starts flashing when you turn on the key it means the CPH didn't receive the correct code from the transponder in the key. None of these clicking relays you hear will have any bearing on the problem.

It's either:

* Faulty transponder in the key
* Faulty antenna on the ignition barrel
* Faulty CPH
* Faulty wiring to the CPH.

Given my similar issue I'd say a faulty transponder antenna on the ignition lock is the most likely. They're quite easy to change if you can get a replacement - three screws to take the steering shroud off, unplug it and slip it off the barrel. Getting the steering shroud back on is the fun part. :twisted:
