thanks for the responses

battery/power is definately not the issue as i have power to the car

I thought immoboliser was not disarming at first (so tried my 2nd set of keys) - same issue.

Also earlier when i did not disarm the immoboliser i stll got the reds, while now i dont have reds on the 2nd click of the key on ignition.

how would i check the ignition switch? thanks
