How do I start my car with the immobiliser stuck on?

My 2001 Renault Megane immobiliser is stuck on, I have no code and just the one key so I can't start my car. Please help.

You need to find a connecting block for the immobiliser somewhere and disconnect it. You'll have to root around with a circuit tester, as I would have to do. I can tell you that in a Peugeot or a Citroen it's a white plastic connecting block under the centre console. It will mean driving with the read light permanently on in the dash, but the car will run normally.
