Tried the LED thing and nothing happens - the LED under the bonnet doesnt light at all.

This is common if they havent been used for years , the switch contacts will be dirty .
Plug the flylead into Pin 1 and press the button fast for as long as it takes to get the light working reliably with each button press ...

Pulled the Keyless entry fuse (not immobiliser fuse i first thought), again car turns over. The immob LED on dash lights, the light under the bonnet lights too - still LED trick doesnt work still.

So short of phoning the RAC (will they be able to by pass the immobiliser),

The immobiliser unit sends a string of coded pulses to unlock the Engine ECU , you cant by-pass it .

what else can i try??

If all else fails you will need a new keyless entry module preferably with it's working keys ...
