Hi all,
I apologise for a long post and my first at that....
I recently had a new tyre fitted and I could hear my alarm keep going off. When tyre was all done, my car wouldn't start on keyless as it wouldn't turn. I had to use my key. The garage were adamant they hadn't done anything (possibly they didn't and its coincidence)
So now when I get out of the car and close the door I don't get the beeps before I lock it. It no longer locks and unlocks by the button on the door,just the remote. Now the last couple of days the key is going in but I can't turn it, same as the keyless way. I have no clue what this is and how to fix, I've replace the batteries in both fobs and nothing.
I'm not sure if this is electrical or ignition barrel. Its not the wheel lock as that is always free, it took me 10 minutes to get it to turn with the key today.
Thank you for any help. Its a 2008 NTec 1.6 petrol.
Angie

You mean the engine won't turn over when the ignition key is turned to start the car. Meaning the starter motor is not working.

Welcome to this forum

Firstly PLEASE don't post a question in more than one place - it only leads to confusion.

Secondly I'm not familiar with the way keyless works on the J10 but hopefully others will be along shortly who might be more knowledgeable than I am.

Thirdly I'm not entirely clear as to what the problems are. When the new tyre was being fitted, you could hear the alarm going off but you just left it and didn't go to intervene and (possibly) turn it off? I'd have been concerned if it was my car. Presumably you just gave them the keys and they took it into the tyre depot, possibly not realising it's keyless? Did they possibly use the emergency mechanical key to drive it?

Fourthly you say "...when I get out of the car and close the door I don't get the beeps before I lock it...". There's nothing in the manual about the car beeping when you get out of it. Normally if you're getting beeps that's indicating a problem but yours was like that previously when it was otherwise working fine?

I'm reading it as the key won't turn.

Note to J11/J12 drivers reading this topic. The J10 has a "knob" not a button to start the engine - the emergency key can be using within it once the cover's been taken off the centre.
