I had a strange hiccup with the immobiliser on my Puma last weekend. I had to move the car to put the boat away and using the key set we normally use and the car fired no problems. We parked the boat but misplaced the Puma keys in the process, no drama's get the spare. Inserted spare and turned, all lights up, turns over once or twice then nothing. Ignition lights still glowing but would not turn over. First thought was dead battery but confused as no solenoid click. About to call RAC and the wife found the everyday keys, inserted key for one more try and it fired instantly. Retried the spare and no problems, all as normal. Could it be the key loses its "memory" after time, or is it acting to magnetic fields as door swipe cards do in some hotels. I hadn't used the spare key for 12 months. Very odd.
