My 550 has intermittent starting problems - on key turn sometimes it fires up perfectly, other times nothing (no engine crank and some of the dash lights go out!). I’ve tried different fobs (even the red one) and that makes no difference.
Any ideas anybody?

Sounds like a stuck starter motor. On my old Defender I give it a few taps to free it up.

This ferrarichat thread (which I haven't read in detail) seems to eventually focus on the immobilizer.
