What happens if you arrive at the bottom of the hill with your motor running,and then you drive up the hill? would the motor be able to run in the village or would the timing be messed up? and would the motor die?

next time you park in budgens put face your car and put the key fob against your head and it will lock the car,try it it's a fact ,it will lock no probs,the brain density and human electricity interferes with the radio waves,so is counter acting against the radio mast

We used a radio system back in the 90's in our fleet vans that set off all the house alarms as we drove past

As soon as they are running they are fine, it just does something to the car that prevents it from actually starting.

I take the mother in law down to Asda's
If the doors open I know she is still alive

mobile phone masts can have the same effect

all sorts can cause this, had occasional problems myself, where there hasn’t been any evidence of phone masts, radio masts, automatic doors or whatever
I was advised to hold the remote transmitter as close as poss to the receiver on the vehicle to lock / unlock it
your car manufacturer / dealer / franchise outlet should be able to tell you where the receiver is for any particular vehicle
on Subaru’s it is at the bottom of the windscreen on the driver side
holding the transmitter here has always worked for me

But it is apparently because of RAF fillingdales where radio signals are sent/recieved and somehow it messes up the electronics on cars and bikes. Seen as the village is on top of hill the only solution is to take your car/bike down to the bottom of the hill where it will usually start!
I guess that would be the opposite to a hill start then eh??!!
