ESP fault, parking brake malfunction?

Argh!

I’m getting this fault again. After that the car won’t start because the immobilizer cuts the fuel off.

In the past I just lock it and wait a few minutes for the computer to reset, but this time it’s being stubborn. sometimes I found that putting it in gear and setting the parking brake also helps the immobilizer reset.

The rest of the car is working just fine…

Any ideas?
