Was the immobiliser fitted recently? definitely the place I'd start looking first.

OK, back to your problem - what engine is fitted? Also, if you put your location in your profile, local help may be available 8)
As Kirsty says, the immobiliser is favourite, but I'm not sure that that would extinguish all of the dash lights :?

You can't be far from Donald (Brorabongo) then, as his web name suggests he lives in Brora. Perhaps he could put you on to the garage that looks after his bongo for him.
