Is it an aftermarket Immobiliser?
What car?
Does the EML light flash when you try to start the car?

OK. There's 2 chips. One on the Key, and it "talks" to another chip and lets it start the car. Have you got a spare key for the car? Have you tried it?

AFAIK the car won't start with the hazard switch trick. Can try taking the shiop out of the key and sticking it to the Ignition barrell. That might work. My chip is playing up at the moment
