Are you parked near any shops with automatic opening doors?

No I'm not the car is parked in my garage at home

I can't remember if the D2 has a main starter fuse. Check the fuse box to see if there is a fuse on the main start system.
I assume you can get in the car using the key and that's when it won't start .

Hi
Yes I can get into the car using the key but now the alarm triggers when I open the door using the key

I am thinking it maybe the immobiliser system on the car causing this problem now

From memory the D2 has a EKA code that you use the key to access the car and it by passes the immobiliser .it sounds like you need to get this code . An example is you insert the key and you turn it right 1 left twice right twice and it talks to the alarm and lets it accept the key to start.

Others with a better idea than me will be able to tell you how to get the number. Have you got any of the books that came with the car from new? Find a member on here who is close by and has nanocom should work.

Cheers Ean

Yes I have all the books that came with the car

Look for the EKA code it emergency key access . Think this is your problem.
