Imobiliser light ins't going out try your other key.
Otherwise it looks like he decoder rings gone or the wiring common issue realy.

The imobiliser light the red one in the center of the dash it should go out when you turn the key.

 

[M8XY G]

yup its just the engine that wont :S

Try disconnecting battery for 5 mins and try again if you ve tried both keys

lights on dash stay on, its makes a funny noise and wont start and gives up

i done it a few times and it got worse and worse...i've stopped after like 4?

well spotted edde, if the other key doesnt work, check the connections on the back of the starter motor, they may of got water in and corroded

Just try your other key limits down the possible issues.

Central locking and metal key bit arn't the imobiliser.

watched again worth trying

 

[martino]

Your key has a little chip inside it that will disable the imobiliser. The imobiliser prevents the car from starting. If the imobiliser is not being turned off the car will not start. So this may be the reason your car is not starting as the key might be playing up. It has nothing to do with your centeral locking.
