Thanks Allan. The fuel pump hum really needs listening for: the dealer had to point it out to me and told me to listen out for it prior to each start (assuming no hum might coincide with no start.)
It only lasts for a few seconds and seems to be the same whether starting first thing in the morning or after only switching the engine off for a few minutes.
The radio-remote locking problem with the ignition switch could explain the problem that some others have had where changing the remote battery cell has no effect. It may also indicate that the switch is nearing the end of its life and that contacts are breaking down????
With the starting problem the dealer has also recommended using a very high grade fuel (e.g. Shell V Power in the UK)in the hope that this might remove any glazes that could be causing intermittent component sticking in the pump.
