Just to give you an update bud it was naff all to do with the immboliser was the ignition feed to the DME relay.

If this is to do with the immboliser it will probably cut in between the small yellow and red wire (this is the ignition feed for the dme relay) The red and blue wire or the green and blue wire somewhere down above the gloove box

Hope that helps :)
