Van won't start (Ghost installed)

Hi all. My van has been on the drive for a few weeks with smart charger keeping the batteries topped up. Tried to start it today and two things are not right. The glow plug light is flashing (Engine management fault) and the Ghost input is not giving the OK signal. Have connected Carista and...

Thanks for the information.

I have Ghost 2 installed on my car and have had no issues, and was thinking about getting it installed on our new Cali. Might need to reconsider in light of this.

I have had ghost plus immobiliser - use every day for two years and had no problems- i know @Loz has similar experience.
No matter how good a system there is always the exception - IMHO

Waiting on a new van which is going to be parked on the street I've been looking into these sorts of systems.

As far as I understand it the van already has an immobiliser which I guess is linked to the key. What is the advantage of a system like Ghost 2? Is it only that it stops someone with a key (i.e they robbed your house) from taking the van because they need to enter a 'password' (button press combination) to start the engine?

Yes correct - Autowatch will also offer a discount on a trackers if you have it fitted at same time.
Both give you discounts on insurance with Comfort.
Mine was brand new 2 years ago and i had a brand new cavalier sri stolen off my drive so the Ghost would have prevented it (they got keys via garage).
well worth peace of mind in my HO.

I don't think Comfort will insure you if you're parked on the road. I had to change insurers because of this.
