Update: It's fixed. It was the starter motor. They put a new one in, and it started..

I did wonder about that but surely the magnets are still present?

This article seems to think that it could cause an issue: https://www.getkisi.com/blog/how-to-avoid-demagnetized-key-cards

Hmm, so I've done some reading and apparently MRI machines can cause problems at 5-6 feet. Obviously they are a LOT bigger. But then on the day it went wrong, before I went for a small walk, I had gotten water out of the boot and drank half a bottle of fizzy water, and I think I had leant...

Have just had a thought. I had been given a microwave as a gift. Because of my injury I had been hesitant to lift it, so it's still in the boot. Does anyone know if the microwave in the boot could have interfered with anything? It's essentially a big magnet, and I had been told to keep my keys...

Nope. It was running totally fine (better than ever I thought! It sounded really good). I refuelled. The previous night I had checked the tyre air pressures and put air into all four tyres. I don't think that could affect anything? Then yesterday morning I went and put the full tank in. It...

Hi, I know it sounds daft but I am scared to touch it. To be completely honest I don't know very much about cars (although I am really interested in them). Can I just literally disconnect it and put it back? Scared I will electrocute myself! I am going to go back in an hour or so and I am going...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, that makes sense. Update!! So I trekked back to it today (it is not on a bus route :() but thankfully it is near a small shop so I was able to get some bits of food and some toilet roll! I don't know if it is the keys and maybe I just assumed because of the...

Hi, I hope that someone will be able to shed some light on this and I'll try to provide the best description I can. I have a foot injury so my car is really important to me. It is a Nissan micra 2006 reg, automatic. Basically the key fob started to get low battery and was working...
