Re: engine immobilizer fault
You might want to try a BSI reset. (Battery disconnect) to see if it resets the immobiliser.
Not sure if it has anything to do with the problem, but it costs nothing, so worth a try.

Re: engine immobilizer fault
bit odd,
I had similar problems recently on my C5 but that was due to my battery being flat. I got a warning saying the anti theft system was faulty.....new battery cured it but I doubt it's same as yours as the engine was running........might be worth trying a jump start off another car to rule that possibility out??
