How long should I leave it unplugged?

Don't have a code reader - can look into getting one I guess.

Things I've tried today:

1. Put key in active position, hold button on fob down for 3-5 seconds, turn to ignition position: did nothing.
   
2. Put key in active position, leave for 15 minutes, switch key back to off, leave for 2 minutes, switch to ignition: did nothing.
   
3. Put key in driver door external lock, lock car, remove key, put key in driver external lock, unlock car, remove key, put key in and turn to ignition: did nothing.
   
4. Short sharp jab with my knee into the steering column: hurt my knee.
   
5. Joined the AA with Home-Start: lowered bank balance. I'll try them tomorrow after the 24-hour intro period wears off, but suspect they won't be able to solve but at least they can tow me to a garage.
   
   

For what it's worth, the immobiliser light disappears from the dial after the key being in active position for a minute or two. Car still doesn't start obvs but I like to think it's a step in the right direction.
