'fraid not, tech2 wont do it.

If its got the early IR central locking, it can be bypassed apparently. The newer ones with rf remotes cannot be.

EML flashes if immobiliser problem.

Do a paperclip test, could be something like failed crank sensor...

Yes, as if it won't start due to engine management detecting a prob, that will be stored...

If selector switch is knackered (ie it thinks its in a drive gear, then it won't even turn over...

Read the fault codes and post back  :)
