1. Search on here for a hard reset.
2. Did you follow the LR procedure with the locking tools x 3 etc and the proper tensioning procedure ?
3. How do you know that it is the immobiliser that is not allowing you to start ?
4. Have you tried your other key ?
5. Have you replaced the crankshaft position sensor correctly ? FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

Mickey [the LR specialist in Dundee] also had an issue when he changed his timing belt.

If its cranking, its not an immobiliser issue.

Suspect either the timing is out, or you have damaged the crank trigger wheel...

Edit: My issue happened 36 hours, and 20 miles later, through a blown intercooler. That wouldn't cause a non start situation

As Mikey has suggested, maybe incorrect timing but as it cranks ok I would lean more to the crank sensor/wheel. I'd be checking the cps plug has also been reseated properly if you disconnected it.
