Rare non start then started fine

[polar]

Hi guys my 2008 1.6hdi did a odd one today went out in it and parked up, got back to it but would not start - turning over fine. Got out locked the doors and then opened them and it started fine! 

Been fine ever since.

Anyone had this one?

Never had it happen but I'm wondering if it could have been the immobiliser circuit throwing a wobbly?

Who knows with all of this electronic mumbo jumbo on cars nowadays

Thats what i was thinking JJ9 other than that it just doesn't make sense lets hope its a one off blip. With things getting so complicated i wonder how old a vehicle becomes before it becomes so unreliable due to electrics you have to scrap them?

Could it have been something close by that was transmitting causing your motor not to start.
