Check and clean all the earth straps before getting one, my car was the same, failed to start one morning and it turned out to be a bad earth connection. Still, got a spare crank sensor now  ;D

Check EML whilst cranking .. if it is flashing continuously its the immobilisor.... if it is ... Check that the chip in the key has not moved from its little ledge. I had this and it was a pain until found .. would start one day not the next :(

Chip was loose and moving whilst key in pocket. Dab of superglue and it was sorted .. :)

As you used other keys probably something else .. but worth a thought ??
