it could be radio signals in the area of the two places you mention messing with the security system!!!

mebbe a mobile phone mast??? try unplugging the rf reciever aerial, its under the parcel shelf support on the drivers side. you will have to unlock the car from a little closer but it should help!!

also get your battery tested, ad its connections. poor batteries and dodgy earth straps can cause all manner of freaky issues on a p38!!

bit of a mare this one,sounds like ecm fault,or picking up interference,or too bloody advanced, is the battery connections good?
sounds a bit serious for me,but i would check the easy faults,make sure your earths are good.
has it got a mercury switch fitted,could it be this?

This has happened to me. Mine was a poor battery connection in the fob. Between unlocking the door and starting the engine, if the fob battery has disconnected, even for a second, it won't fire up. It's easy to damage these connections when fob batts are changed.
