Sounds like ECU might be locked or loose connection somewhere, or a blown fues check your fuses it'll be a 20amp.

Ummm I think it does matter I'd unlock it before trying to remove the Immobiliser mate if I was you.

I'd have unlocked it to start with I think to save problems :)

Oh right, in that case if your fuses are all good and you have all good wiring connections, I recon your ECU isn't unlocked. I'm not sure on how to remove the Immobiliser mate but get your ECU checked out it could save you problems if it's locked just get it unlocked, problem solved without messing with your Immobiliser :)

It should do yes, as long as that is the only problem for it not starting.
