OK, got a VCDS scan.

In 01 Engine address it states:

17978 Engine start blocked by immobiliser P1570-35-00
18058 Powertrain data bus P1650-35-00 Missing message from instrument cluster

also 03 ABS:

01203 Electrical connection between ABS and Instrument cluster 31-00 open or short to ground.

I noticed that the VCDS didnt pick up the VIN code. I have also realised that the odometer isnt showing when the ignition is on and this along with the fact that fuel gauge (as mentioned before) is on the stops and not registering anything suggests that there is an issue with the instrument cluster . Or is the above a result of a the immobiliser doing its thing? I notice that someone else on here posted about the immobiliser wire this morning - is this the season for it? Any further help/suggestions on way ahead much appreciated.
