   Try disconnecting the battery for a while.

   I've noticed it's drinking a fair bit of fuel and now and again when driving its like it hits a dead spot abit like its a fueling problem?

   You can turn the light off with the Diagnostics even if there's no faults.
   
   The immobilizer problem is common, in MK2's mainly. Just turn the key off and on a few times. My MK2 does it all the time.
   
   As for drinking fuel check your sensors, WD40 the connections, could be a bad connection causing a wrong reading.
   
   My VTR is drinking fuel lately... Mainly on slow short journeys lol.

   I keep hearing that it might be the Lambda sensor, a mate of mine says that they don't always display codes when it's the lambda and that might explain the fuel issue?
