From that code, it's an Immobiliser circuit failure. Not much more can be said about it (obvioulsly) without running through the diagnostic procedure for that code.

I had a quick look in the workshop manual yesterday to identify the possible reason for the code and saw there is a diagnostic test procedure to follow to identify the actual fault, so you'd need to book it in with us or (or a specialist close to you) to invetigate it.

As for the boost part, it's not impossible that's a seperate fault, but like I say, I didn't check that far into it?
