Red Lights Red Lights

I have a 306 diesel 1.9 at the garage being timming belts and having a oil change. I parked the car and provided to imbolliser number. After a shot time i had a call to say that none of the engineers could start the car.

Any idea of how to start the car so that it may be started with the correct code again after it wash and brush up

I NEED THE CAR

Please any info

    tell them to put the key in the ignition turn the key so the ignition lights come on and then enter the 4 digit code number it will either beep or the light on the keypad will change colour,then start the car

    HI HART

    I went back to the garage to check the problem. as before the state of the lights are red then key entered and bleep four times green plus red light still on. If tried to start engines tryto turn over, the battery has been jump started awell to rule out not enough battery power due to the high demand

    If three incorrect four digit codes are entered in succession, the keypad cannot be used for 30 minutes.

    Simultaneously lighting of both red and green indicator lamps indicate incorrect use or an operational fault:

    - wait approx one minute
    - then switch the ignition off
    - then switch on again
    - re-start the operation
    N.B. there is a way to change the code to say 1111 when you put it in for service, so that you do not have to reveal your personal code.

    Just disconnect the keypad, this is what most users do after a while!
