It's a month since posting this problem.
Since removing key fob timber I have not had a problem. Seems it doesn't take much to activate immobiliser.
Thanks all.

Thanks for all your input....... I am becoming more convinced that the problem was the 'debris' hanging down from the ignition key. Since removal of same I have not had a problem....famous last words ! Interestingly it does say in the handbook there should be nothing dangling as the immobiliser kick...

Thanks for that...I will remove all the 'timber' from key fob and see what happens.
Interestingly I had a problem a few months ago with the key ( would not lock doors ) Had to resort to main dealer. Felt an idiot

Thanks.

Thanks....had thought of that but was just wondering what it was.

Thanks.....done.

Recently a small piece of plastic fell off the top right hand side of my auto gear shift knob. It has left me with a piece of mettle jutting out. I have not pushed or pulled it as I thought I might cock up.
Any ideas,
Thanks.

Recently a small piece of plastic fell from the top right hand side of the gear shift.
In it's place now is a piece of metal protruding. I haven't tried to pull or push it in
or out in case I cocked something up.
Any ideas please as to what or why it is.
Thanks.
