Peugeot 206 starting intermittently after key change
Discussion
Peugeot 206 look 1.4 57 reg
Changed key case from two button key to two button flip shell bought online, went to turn key in ignition and all lights on dash came on stereo etc all car functions working as normal no message on the display but no engine crank nothing apart from a clicking sound ( Transmitter chip and central locking chip both transferred into new key) switched both chips back to old key and same result. Left for 15 minutes or so came back and started straight away drove around thinking it was back to normal willing to keep the old key and get on, stopped about half an hour after leaving and when I went to start the car back up no cranks just a click. 15 minutes later return and it works first time. Tried disconnecting battery etc but to no avail. Since then it happens most times after turning ignition off then trying to start again but sometimes every second or third time
Also not a starter problem
Tried to give as much info as possible
Any help appreciated
Also the car sound alerts with key in ignition and door open.

Connect a wire to the solenoid control terminal and see what voltage it's getting when the 'no crank' problems happens.
If it sees 12+ volts, it's a starter problem.
If it remains at 0V, it's probably an alarm/immob problem.
If it sees an intermediate voltage it might be a wiring fault or alarm/immob fault.
As a sanity check measure the battery voltage under the same conditions and confirm it's up around 12.5V or better.
