have you just taken the obc itself out? if so you need to unplug the yellow plug that plugs into the back of the clocks,this is where the obc gets its power! should disable the immobiliser.......so im told..... winkeye

there will be a break in the ignition cable where you unplugged the ecu thingy. you will have to look up the ig. wire colour green/pink rings a bell but I am not at all sure.

I've posted this twice in the last week alone!!
Above the top of the glovebox there is a white two pin socket with two green wires going to it from the car loom. The OBC plugs into this.
Remove the OBC plug, and, if you are lucky, there will be a similar plug with a short loop of green wire fitted to it tied up to the loom nearby.
Plug this loop into the socket and the immobilizer will be bypassed.
