Sorry mate I live in ouston Chester le street,the car starts on petrol then when warm switch to lpg, put key in ignition and have to keep pressing the buttons to get the immobiliser off it doesn't work all the time.
 
Does the fob work if you stand by the filler cap? The receiver antenna could be disconnected meaning it won't always work by the front door or in the ignition. It goes into positive immobiliser mode after 30s of unlocking
Does the red light always come on when you press a button? The fob might be poorly and/or need a new battery

Not always at the filler cap, the Fob lights up and it has had new batteries
 
I had same issue since replacing fob batteries. It happened EVERY time most recently. Last night I got totally pi55ed off with it, stripped it down again and then very carefully rebuilt it. Working perfectly now. There was clearly something not lined up correctly when I previously put it back together. Operator error on my behalf. Good luck sorting yours out.

Have you got the vertical contact strip inside the battery carrier covered with a bit of insulation tape Mike?

Don't know what happened to my reply Mike, have you got the vertical contact in the battery carrier covered by insulation tape,I'm sure I posted a photo years ago.

It is the contact for the battery. There isn't a lot of tolerance. Bit of a crap design. Bloody german engineering.
