My Eldsiss Autoquest has not been used since last year although I turn it over (it has always started first time, whatever the weather) and keep the engine running for around 20 minutes and run it up and down the drive every few weeks.  Yesterday, although
the engine turns over (so battery is fine) the engine either would not start and/or started and cut out so Green Flag came out and he suggested that the immobiliser may be faulty.  It is going to be taken to the garage next week but has anyone had immobiliser
problems or similar happen to their vehicle?

    Can't help you with any experience as to why, very unusual and not someting I've heard of.  But if you have problems getting it fixed at your usual garage I could point you in the direction of a motorhome service specialist on Mersyside who would be able
    to diagnose and fix.
