But you didn't use a brick ... some local scrotbag did and then realised the car wouldn't start so left it... or atleast that's what you tell your missus and the insurance...No not allowed bricks! Ffs. @pdg
Is the car near a military airbase? They have some funny stuff going on, military radar type which can interfere with remote locking.
There are also some crane proximity warning devices that can sit on the key frequency and can block the reception of the key signal.
Another possible cause is a TV sender unit gone wrong nearby.
Have you got a radio receiver capable of UHF reception? Might help to rule out that one.
Operating the key near likely locations for the receiving antenna might help. Not familiar with the Puma, but the windscreen near the rear view mirror is one likely place, or low on the windscreen close to the dashboard. Rear windscreen is another.
Is contacting the previous owner a possible?
Does the remote key battery check out OK?

Any Ford key will lock a Ford. I suppose its better than any Ford key unlocking a Ford like it was back in the 70s
A mate could use the key from his locker at work to unlock and start his Fiesta, it also would unlock another mate's Escort but wouldn't start it.Doesn't even have to be a Ford key! If my Dad was locked out of his Mk 5 cortina he used the spare key he had to get in - the spare key was from my Uncle's hillman hunter!
