   Turn the key on, if the light comes on, turn it off then on again, if it comes on again, do the same, off then on. It'll not come on after a few turns
   
   Quite common that is =]

   I've no idea what causes it, but I had the same problem. Fixed it by removing the immobiliser - not the safest solution, but it worked.
   
   It's a little black box behind the dash near the bonnet popper thing. Only need to disconnect 1 plug.
   
   DO NOT disconnect it whilst the engine isn't running though. Start the car, then remove it.

   Your ECU will want it plugged in to work.
   
   Do what I said, then start it and unplug it.
   
   I haven't unplugged mine I just turn the key off and on if it does it lol.
