if your management light is flashing its telling you the car is immobilised ,if it starts with the spare key then its pointing to a fault with your key . has anyone had it in bits and lost the chip out of it as its just not recognising that key .it must stop flashing on your spare key because when the light is flashing it will start but cut out straight away

Sorry to hear that, found mine and put back in keyfob :) Think you may have to get new chip from Vauxhall and have it coded to your car.
