<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

You have to put the correct code in to disarm the immobiliser before you disconnect the keypad!

When this happenned to me I disconnected the battery for 5 minutes & reconnected, all was back to normal.
It shows both lights if the wrong code has been entered too many times, maybe if the ECU has got itself scrambled too.
Worth a go, I hope it works for you!
