Default newbie needing help

hi all, i live in cornwall in the uk and new to this forum stuff. have no idea how to use this site. need help in figuring out what is wrong with my 2.2 diesel X type estate. its a 2005.
had a few problems with dash lights and basically now it just wont start, turn key and nothing happens, red immobiliser light comes on solid, doesn't flash, as soon as i try to start it. for some reason the immobiliser doesnt seem to be switching off. tried my spare key but same result. can any body give me some advice.
cheers

What is the age and condition of the battery? A failing or weak battery can cause many mysterious electrical faults.

If the voltage at the battery is 12.2 volts, or less with the ignition in the off position, the battery must be replaced.

Welcome.

A quickie repost in the X Type section will get many answers for you.

The first and basic answer is certainly on the right track.
