Anyone in (SE) London able to help with DICE/VIDA please?

[mango]

Hi there

I was windering if someone could either lend me the diagnostic equipment, or come visit me in Peckham? I can recompensate for the trouble.

My 2005 automatic V70 2.0 won't start so unfortunately can't come to you

The problem: My car won't start, shows a 'Start Prevented Try Again' message.

I've trawled the forum for possible causes, and tried a lot of the solutions people give on here - resettting the immobiliser, replacing antenna ring, shifting between park and neutral several times. I've stopped short of taking the CEM out to check for water damage or dodgy connections as I strugged to get the CEM out in a way that I was confident I could put it back in.

I'm hoping by running diagnostics I can get closer to working out what the problem is, and decide whether it's worth paying to get the car towed to Sentinel Volvo in Tottenham for them to fix.

I've let my MOT lapse, so no roadside assistance will help me (stupid, stupid, expensive mistake!)

Thanks in advance

Dan
