Vauxhall Astra E - Immobiliser - Caliban

I would like to know if I can use a second hand immobiliser for a 'S' reg Vauxhall Astra 1.6 and have it re-coded to my car immobiliser. The problem I have is my transponder on my key for my car is beyond repair and is not returning the signal from my immobiliser thereby stopping the car from starting. I would like to know if I can get a second hand vauxhall transponder and have it coded for my car or would I need to buy a new transponder? If someone could help me out with this please as I would like to save some money and it is the only thing stopping me from actually using my car.

Thanks
