The PATS (immobiliser) chip is a small black or grey block in the key that readily drops out if the key head is opened. The car will not start without it.

 

Either look for it (where the key came apart - it may be in the drivers footwell for instance ) or use your spare key.

Good luck in finding it!

If you do find it when it's back together and working, a little drop of super glue will prevent it falling apart again, this has happened to me too many times in the past and made me look a right Plonker with the AA man!
