Just got back from my Christmas break of 11 days and went to start up my 98 Cooper but the immobiliser light will not switch off. I have two sets of keys and tried the second set but had the same result. Could anyone suggest anything to check?

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 mins or so

Disconnect the car battery leave for about 10 minutes reconnect and re sync the key fob (press the lock button 4 times in quick succession ). Assuming the key fob battery is good!

Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a go on Saturday, was also of thinking of getting a fob battery as well. Could the battery be flat and this cause it not to respond? Was wondering if getting a jump start would be of any use.
