Spare key wouldn't start car either though (although the spare key battery is flat)

So at a bit of a loss what to do! Grrrr!

I misread your post initially I thought you said you didn't have a spare but re-reading I agree with the switch being the likely culprit.

The immobilizing circuitry doesn't use the battery. If your spare remote doesn't work more likely it's a bad solder joint than the battery. There is a guy that will repair for like $60-70. Saves like $130 over replacing.
