Hi guys I've been told theres no such thing as a stupid question so here goes...
I recently purchased myself a KE VERADA and have had a few little issues with it nothing too major touch wood. ..
ive had a few problems with the intermittent starting issue and after doing a little research and investigating I think I can pull the immobiliser from the equation...


so my question is is it at all possible that when I do drive my verada like a manual so to speak shifting gears manually instead of putting in drive would that cause the computer to not allow the motor to start afterwards?? The only time it has done it is after doing as above... ive got it booked for a major service and talked to my mechanic about re-teaching the gearbox after the trans is serviced.

Any ideas as to what would cause this non start issue?

When you have a non-start situation, keep the key in the"start" position, and jiggle the gearstick gently while it is in Neutral or Park. If it fires up suddenly, it's the inhibitor switch. Your overly enthusiastic shifting technique may have upset it. If that is the problem, check it's adjustment (see Manual.)

I wouldnt say that im actually shifting it hard more or less just clicking up gears...
I also forgot to say that it winds over just no fire and engine light stays on.. im going to check for faults in the morning by earthing the pin and check the dash. .

Not the inhibitor switch then, if it turns over.
