Arggh, frustrating, but at least you've discounted something else. Stick with it. Once she fires up you'll forget all the hassle ...maybe ....just!!!!
You're not the first and won't be the last as this previous thread shows. http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread....mmobiliser . It may give you some more ideas (e.g. inertia cut-off switch) but before that try disconnecting battery again for a bit (after putting up hood). Make sure doors & windows are closed when reconnecting. Lock & then unlock car using key fob before trying to do anything else. Make sure headlights definitely not flashing. Try starting it again. I honestly don't know if this is a useful suggestion, but hey, it only takes a few mins, so what the heck!!.
Re the ECU do you know of anyone who can plug in a decent scan tool? Not all will read the 306 as it's apparently not fully OBDII compliant. Or follow Eeore's advice in this thread http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=35709 .
In the unlikely case you can't get a response from the ECU & need to send it off to be checked or think it really is the immobiliser there are plenty of places out there to sort it, like this one http://www.cartechelectronics.com/ecu-services/ .
Good luck as I'm pretty sure I'm now out of helpful suggestions!!!
