Sorted - phew.

I suspected the immobiliser, partly because the light was on all the time, rather than flashing when armed, and partly as its not made by Toyota.

So disconected the negative on the battery and reconnected, and started perfectly :-)

My IT skills coming in handy, 1st thing is always to reboot .... lol
