I'd strongly suggest checking your fuses, right of the steering column.

hi andre what would it be something to do with fuses that causes immobiliser to come on

[Andre]

It is worth checking for a potential quick fix. You could also try a BSI reset procedure:

Code:

Before sending the unit try the BSI Reset procedure as this may cure your faults:
Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.

Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.

Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.

Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).

Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.

Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.

Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.

Remove key open & close door test central locking system.

Start the engine and complete the system's check.

Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items

Have you tried refitting the original HU?

More description:

i had the same problem yesterday but i have a number pad.... best and quickest way to fix it if u dont want to have to go to citreon and pay for new keys and new immobiliser is to,
get a grinder out, grind off the tamper proof cover over the fuel pump solinoid, open the solinoid up take the plunger bit out, thorw it away, u can cut the 2 wires going to the plunger bit, then put it back together. hey presto it will start, but u have to stall it to stop it. u can get a replacment plunger bit that u need to wire to a ignition and gnd, and then it will be fine but there wont be an active immobiliser in it.
