You didnt hit a pothole by any chance and pop the fuel kill switch in the engine bay.It beside the right hand turret and is black or red,push the button to reset the switch.Have a go it could be the little things that count,you can also decode the ecu to take the code out

Sounds like bull to me. I'd suggest it's the keypad. Try searching on here for red and green

Whenever that's happenned to me I've disconnected the battery which resets the immobiliser. Definitely worth a shot!
