Have you got a spare key? Does that work?
The ignition barrel and key talk to each other, not literally as that would be weird.

That's why when you have such problem everything gets sold/needed to replace it

No mate, no spare key. Just annoying how it's so intermittent. Gonna have a look in the morning, hopefully it starts.

Thank you mate.
First link doesnt really apply as mine was still turning over.
Second link.. where/what are the relays?

Small plastic box on the right. You may have knocked something. Maybe.

Ah, that thing. Will have a look. Silly question maybe.. is it okay to use brake cleaner on stuff like that to 'clean'?

Thinking about it, I had my drivers door open the whole time whilst trying to start.

I'll have a look mate. Sorry to be stupid. When you say check the fuses, what am I looking for to recognise a broken one?

I just have no mechanical knowledge at all, ive always just chucked my car to my mechanic friend and bought him a few beers after. My mum has bought me a tool set for xmas I think so im gonna try and learn a bit more. Just google'd how to check a fuse too, thanks mate.

im thinking more decoder ring on the ignition barrel tbh
Scrap that.
Just throwing ideas to try mate. Other than that you need someone with a proper diagnostic etc. This might be worth a read

Just gone out, car started perfectly on the button about 10 times in a row, no issue. I still
cleaned up the battery terminals and pushed the positive down a bit. Negative wire seems to look okay and connected etc with no obvious corrosion. Opened the fuse box, but ive got no idea which one to look at. Are there any which directly link to the immoboliser?

If you have zero mechanical minded sense then I would leave it alone and if it happens again get someone to look at it or you'll be causing more harm than good mate

I did think as much. Its been perfect today, any more issues and i'll take it to Rentech for a good look over.

It sounds very much like a poor earth issue.
Ideally you'll need a multimeter to check/prove each earths "condition" but as you've already said you have little mechanical knowledge, it may be worth sending it to Mike @ Rentech.
My guess is either the rear gearbox or behind the passenger headlamp is about ready to fall off.

Thanks everyone for their advice!
make sure the terminals on the battery won't turn, then check loom earth on the rear of the gearbox, sounds like that more than anything.
car will start and run without it connected.

Problem seems to have changed since then haha, very odd. Assume it's all linked though.

Totally agree,should still run with a good battery even without an alternator on board.
Helped someone local with an engine swap,but left him to do the plug ins.
Engine churned a couple of times,then cut.
One of his mates was passing,pushed the connector fully home & off you go.
Rear gearbox earth strap pics?
mine seems to be on the lower gearbox mount!?
