Thanks Cat and bless you.
Found the cable. Boot open. Charger on. Showing 4 fully charged.
Strange spasmodic sounds behind the dash. Park brake indicator came on. Got the old key out. Tried the new key. Lit up and immediately closed down. Good key now jammed. Strange micro seat movement as if trying to ho Comfort on shut down.
Oh dear. Not going at all well. Same for getting the good key out.
Sounds like a loose connection as well. Possibly faulty ignition switch has been known to do some strange things.
Mine used to do almost exactly this though. The negative terminal on the battery was (I think) the culprit. I think I had it happen about three times. I disconnected the battery (which I'd do now anyway), tightened up the thumb release on the negative terminal and connected it back up. After that it never happened again. Theory was that there was enough resistance to allow the ignition on current, but as soon as you try to pull starting current, the voltage drops to basically zero and all the toys get thrown.
Certainly worth a try.
