    I had a laguna that pulled this stunt regularly, most of the time it was either the steering lock or the in gear sensor- jiggle the steering wheel and the gear stick and try again, worked for me 90% of the time.
    Sometimes though it just didn't want to start, but would start no problem later on, presumably when it was in a better mood. Not much use when you're trying to get to work in the morning:mad:
    It's one of the many vagueries of French electronics!

    All I used to do was keep taking the card out and put it back in again until it decided to work pos.:(

    Came across a few like that even 2 of them had started up without the key card or anyone near it.
    There are some mad electrics in those.

    I have spent 320 on the clutch problem. 70 on a battery yesterday as i thought that could of been the issue but sadly not.

    I think a match maybe would have been the route to go if you hadn't spent so much on it.
