I think you have put the cam belt on wrong

You also may have done something wrong when changing the head gasket

have you done this work yourself ?

what I've done is put the no. 1 piston on TDC AND ALIGN MARKS ON BOTH CAMSHAFTS WITH THE MARKS ON THE ROCKER COVER ALSO ALIGN THE CRANKSHAFT MARK WITH THE POINTER, FIT THE BELT ON AND ADJUSTED THE TENSIONER. TURN THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES, AND MARKS WERE ON THE SAME POSITIONS.

Youve not taken your key apart for a new battery or anything have you?

if so, you may have lost the transponder - small black chunk of plastic.

That would cause a permanently flashing light (immobiliser)

Other ideas....is your cam sensor plugged in properly, no other missed connections?
revist every plug to ensure all plugged in properly.

Start looking very carefully in the area where you took the key apart. Transponder is a very small black rectangle of hard resin

Agreed.I would be rechecking all connections,plugs etc.It sounds to me like the cambelt has been put back properly,so best to revisit the other things which have been disturbed.If its still dead after the weekend I may be able to assist,although Im by no means an expert. :y

Ah,looks like Jimbob may have hit the nail on the head. :y

Yes, find that transponder, else you will have to buy a new one and have it coded to the car...
