I fear this is another dealership taking advantage of unsuspecting customers

Yup 

To the OP

Check that the code chip in your key hasn't come loose.
Maybe remove the chip and tape it into the loom around the immobiliser ring as a test on a temporary basis.
If you have a spare key, use that for a bit 

Other then that, I say crank sensor then pop around to your dealer and teach the bastid the error of his ways

Too incompetent and/or lazy to do some proper diagnosis is just as likely.

"The machine says...."

And we know imobilser codes never clear themselves.

As per my comment in another thread...

Dealerships don't employ mechanics and therefore there isn't anyone there who knows how to do proper diagnostic work

Serek, the Master, has fixed my car. Picked it up on Saturday. He checked the ecus. It was, as some of you said, the crank sensor. The one fitted in January was VX but duff. No codes were showing.
Cannot recommend him enough.

Job jobbed. Possibly a duff batch/dubious supply as that's not the first genuine sensor to fail in short order recently 

Hopefully this one will see you right

Taking it back for a refund then.
