Citroen C3 Pluriel Convertable Remote/Immobiliser Issue
Hello I have an issue with my car that is basically rendering it unusable and I hope someone may have an answer. Randomly when I go to open the car with the remote it won't work,I have to open it with the key meaning the alarm goes off and the immobiliser kicks in so I can't start the car. I have to call the AA and I think they disconnect the battery so it resets the immobiliser to get in and start again. Obviously this isn't a permanent solution! I've taken it to citroen (even towed it there with the immobiliser and alarm on!) to try to ascertain what's wrong and they can't find anything the only answer they have is to replace the lot at a cost of £650,which isn't an option due to the value of the car and now I can't sell it either. Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem? Could i have the immobilser removed permanently to prevent it? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

It Weill almost certainly be the BSI unit, but I would be absolutely sure of the car battery first.
It doesn't cost £650 to change the BSI

Thank you for your reply. That what the garage have said it is but have told me the cost to replace the BSI is £650 does that sound too much?

You could get a BSI , Engine ECU and Transponder keys from the same car at a scrap yard for £250, then just swap them.
For what we are about to receive may we be truly thank full.
