Hi, I have a Vauxhall Movano and its been working fine up until this morning. I put the key in the ignition as usual and at that point the immobilizer light on the dashboard usually extinguishes but today it flashed quicker and I couldn't start the van. Any ideas?

The transponder is not communicating with the immobilizer unit and if you have a spare key, give it a try. If not, you would need to have the system checked.

Start by checking if any fuses are blown.
