I've got it sussed out now - took a while and help
Have isolated the Autowatch unit now and car is starting up, so its an immobiliser issue
I think the unit is shagged, no idea what caused the failure though, everything electrically have been fine with the car
But the unit is being sent back to Autowatch
Interesting day, I've learnt a bit about immobilisers

the reason the unit failed is ussualy the relays inside the unit get tired, and stop contacting correctly. and sometimes just get shit units last couple months (very rarely). if u want to have a little more confidence eather take it out completely or use a blue range (autowatch) immobilizer they are built with different relays which are tougher
