Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Yesterday the car would not start. Turned over easily, had a full tank of diesel but nothing. I locked and unlocked the car a few times, put the key in and out of the ignition a few times and then it started. The rest of the day no more problems. Today, while I was driving the immobiliser light came on and the engine stopped. After repeating yesterdays procedure the engine restarted only to stop again 5 miles later.Once again going through the same procedure it started again and got me home. HELP! what is wrong.

From your description it looks like the key antenna is not reading the key correctly, a code read will confirm this,possibly a connection problem as it still works and just requires the connections at the antenna ring cleaned and greased and the immobilizer box connections.
