Thanks, yes the red immob light stays on. Could be the solenoid as you say. When you refer to 'battery posts' you mean the mounts in the key fob, yes? Nothing to do with the car battery?

Thanks Tony. The key I'm using is a clone, around 1yr old. And the car battery is just months old. I'll refer to the key provider, see what he thinks. Cheers. I.

My Alphard (early 08) started first time this morning. Ran for 30 mins, stopped engine. Won't start again NOTHING as if immobilised. This has happened on the last three trips: it started first time, ran perfectly, then wouldn't restart at the supermarket/fuel station... until I waited a significant length of time. Then it's as if there was no problem. So it seems like the immobiliser is being triggered somehow. Or could it be a key recognition problem? Anybody recognise this please?
