And in an emergency you can connect a wire with 2 croc clips on each end. one goes to the battery term live and the other to the fuel shut off solenoid. Then using an insulated spanner touch the terminals on the starter solenoid, but watch yourself as lots of current...
Make sure you take the steering lock of first though, and to stop the engine, take the croc clip off the battery or stall it..

Sounds to me like a faulty ignition switch - new one from Paddocks about £30.
I had this on Mr BL's Tdi 200, mucked me about for ages 'til I bit the bullet.
When fitting the new one I had the opportunity to rip out the wiring of the aftermarket immobiliser - all was well after that

take the unit out, its a 200 tdi which means your system could be up to 20 yrs old... circuits corrode after a while, get rid of it
hi i had problems with the windows on mine, it was acracked solder joint on the control unit for the windows ,passenger footwell..awkward to get to.
also the immobiliser will come on if you have a bump. this opens all locking,and disables all locking, and puts hazards on. this can be reset by removing one of the relays on the immobiliser box. and putting it back again.....i just love faults like this!!!

Hi, I had the same problem with my old 200tdi.
If you look at the rear of the battery a thick brown wire runs from battery over inner wing and splits into 4 seperate fuse wires and then back into 2 brown wires ( think from memory). they may be taped up or covered in some way . Jiggle them about and try starting then. I cut out these fuse wires and replaced with new wire and crimps. O r you could put in a fusebox. It solved my problem and appears to be a common fault,
Hope this helps

Yours is totally different believe me, for the ignition thing follow this procedure first to make sure it's not a passive immobilisaton issue:
