IIRC the flashing car/spanner is something to do with the imobiliser  :-/

As said, flashing e.m.l. signifies that the immobilizer has not been disengaged, have you had your key apart recently?

Sounds like your key needs re-programming.

Where abouts are you?

Did the 'horseshoe section of the key (with the key blade) pull away from the fob when you removed it from the ignition the last time it was running OK? If so, the immobiliser transponder chip has probably fallen out! Remove the said section again & check that the chip is/isn't there. If it isn't, you need to search the interior/exterior of the car very systematically as the chip is very small  :-/l
