Answer
It has been identified that certain vehicles may not start due to an intermittent fault in the on board immobiliser
Citroen have issued a re call XYS for the C4 - Click Here - for this which may have been missed
Recalled vehicles will have the control column unit holding the immobiliser, wiper and indicator controls re-placed.
It doesn't affect all cars though so if in doubt contact a dealer and give them the VIN or Registration number and they can do a search on outstanding re-calls for any C4
