You are correct - I think that you are saying that, if it's a bad key, then the car would work fine when I use a different key. Since the car continues to have problems, even with a different key, then the problem is the car - the immoblizer.
 
One difficulty is that the nearest dealer is over an hour away
 
And if it's not having the problem when I take the car to the dealer, it will be difficult to diagnose - the car only does the 'no start' very occasionally.
 
Surely I'm not the ONLY person to have this problem???
 
Thanks for your input!

Why don't you call your dealer, describe what's going on and tell them you understand there is a TSB for an engine immobilizer issue. Ask if they are willing to apply it even if they are not able to duplicate the problem.
