Had this on mine, seem to remember disconnecting the in-line green connector on the OBC loom behind the glove-box, sorry but i can't quite remember which bit i unplugged!

Start the car then return the key to the off position, then pull out the connections on the OBC loom and see which one causes the car to stall, hopefully the OBC will remain working!

The immobiliser wires (looped into green ignition wire above glovebox), go to a relay in a black box above the engine ECU. This box also contains a relay for the CODE function alarm, which has a remanent 12V+ feed, so, somehow, I expect these two are connected together.
