Hi Whoopma and welcome to the forum.

Sorry but dont know I can help much with your starting problem except to say I dont think it can be anything to do with your imobaliser as it shouldnt start when you bump it. I would say faulty starter or ignition switch ? I am sure I have seen something similar somewhere else will have a look and get back to you   Wink

Hi

I could be the samething SJ sometimes suffer with. The solinoid wiring from the ingnition switch to the starter motor is not big enough and there fore has a high resistance and wont fire the solinod/starter there will be no clik nothing when you turn the key.

When this happens take a jump lead one end connected to the positive of the battery the other gripping the metal shaft of a screwdriver. Remove the small cable connected to the starter motor solinod and carefully touch the terminal with the screwdriver, it should turn (caution don't touch anything else with the end of the screwdriver). Found this dodge when stuck in the middle of exmoor and the SJ wouldn't start

I permanently fixed problem using a auto relay, using the solinod switch terminal as the relay trigger and battery feed straight to the starter. Razz
