First check the battery and starter motor. Are they working well and in good condition? Check the battery voltage when turning over - anything much less than 10 volts while cranking may mean your battery is duff. (Have you tried recharging the battery?)

 

Now the immobiliser:- When it does start, does it continue to run until you stop it or does it cut out? If it cuts out then how long after it starts, i.e. does it run just for a second or two or much longer?

 

Fuel:- Have you got fuel in the tank,Is the car level when when you cant start it or parked on an incline?

 

Eliminate all of the above first and report back before proceding further.
